Rondthaler, E. [e-Book] Life With Letters: As They Turned Photogenic (Visual Communication Books). Ontario, Hastings House, 1982.
Fabuloso libro para cualquier persona interesada en la historia de la gráfica y la tipografía. Información muy interesante: un sistema de fichas que funcionaba como una base de datos relacional física antes de la aparición del PC.
These 7,000 English words are spelled with SoundSpel uniform phonic integrity. Without change they already use letters consistently throughout to indicate the sounds and phonemes one should typically make when speaking the words. They are least confusing for persons learning English as a second language.

Kahn, L. (2017). [e-Book] The First Hebrew Shakespeare Translations: A Bilingual Edition and Commentary. London, UCL Press, 2017.
This first bilingual edition and analysis of the earliest Shakespeare plays translated into Hebrew – Isaac Edward Salkinson’s Ithiel the Cushite of Venice (Othello) and Ram and Jael (Romeo and Juliet) – offers a fascinating and unique perspective on global Shakespeare. Differing significantly from the original English, the translations are replete with biblical, rabbinic, and medieval Hebrew textual references and reflect a profoundly Jewish religious and cultural setting
Vertical Readings in Dante’s Comedy : 3 Vol. Open Book Publishers, 2014
Texto completo
«Vertical Readings in Dante’s Comedy is a reappraisal of the poem by an international team of thirty-four scholars. Each vertical reading analyses three same-numbered cantos from the three canticles: Inferno i, Purgatorio i and Paradiso i; Inferno ii, Purgatorio ii and Paradiso ii; etc. Although scholars have suggested before that there are correspondences between same-numbered cantos that beg to be explored, this is the first time that the approach has been pursued in a systematic fashion across the poem.This collection – to be issued in three volumes – offers an unprecedented repertoire of vertical readings for the whole poem. As the first volume exemplifies, vertical reading not only articulates unexamined connections between the three canticles but also unlocks engaging new ways to enter into core concerns of the poem. The three volumes thereby provide an indispensable resource for scholars, students and enthusiasts of Dante.»
Annotation, exploitation and evaluation of parallel corpora : TC3 II. Language Science Press, 2017
Exchange between the translation studies and the computational linguistics communities has traditionally not been very intense. Among other things, this is reflected by the different views on parallel corpora. While computational linguistics does not always strictly pay attention to the translation direction (e.g. when translation rules are extracted from (sub)corpora which actually only consist of translations), translation studies are amongst other things concerned with exactly comparing source and target texts (e.g. to draw conclusions on interference and standardization effects). However, there has recently been more exchange between the two fields – especially when it comes to the annotation of parallel corpora. This special issue brings together the different research perspectives. Its contributions show – from both perspectives – how the communities have come to interact in recent years.
Annotation, exploitation and evaluation of parallel corpora : TC3 I. Language Science Press, 2017
«The purpose of this volume is to explore key issues, approaches and challenges to quality in institutional translation by confronting academics’ and practitioners’ perspectives. What the reader will find in this book is an interplay of two approaches: academic contributions providing the conceptual and theoretical background for discussing quality on the one hand, and chapters exploring selected aspects of quality and case studies from both academics and practitioners on the other. Our aim is to present these two approaches as a breeding ground for testing one vis-à-vis the other.This book studies institutional translation mostly through the lens of the European Union (EU) reality, and, more specifically, of EU institutions and bodies, due to the unprecedented scale of their multilingual operations and the legal and political importance of translation. Thus, it is concerned with the supranational (international) level, deliberately leaving national and other contexts aside. Quality in supranational institutions is explored both in terms of translation processes and their products – the translated texts.»

Cifras clave de la enseñanza de lenguas en los centros escolares de Europa. Edición 2017. Informe Eurydice. Madrid, Ministerio de Educación, Cultura y Deporte, 2017.
Esta cuarta edición de Cifras clave de la enseñanza de lenguas en los centros escolares de Europa describe las principales políticas aplicadas en el terreno de la enseñanza y aprendizaje de lenguas, con especial atención a las extranjeras. Contiene 60 indicadores en cinco capítulos titulados Contexto, Organización, Participación, Profesorado y Procesos Educativos. Aunque este libro parte de la edición anterior publicada en 2012, también investiga nuevas áreas, principalmente la oferta de lenguas a los niños de origen inmigrante. El informe ha sido elaborado en estrecha colaboración con la Comisión Europea. La publicación pertenece a la serie Cifras Clave, cuya finalidad es combinar datos estadísticos e información cualitativa sobre los sistemas educativos europeos. Los indicadores están organizados por áreas temáticas dentro de los capítulos y secciones. Ofrecen información clara, precisa y comparable en gráficos y están acompañados de breves comentarios, con un encabezamiento que resume los aspectos esenciales. Para elaborar los indicadores se han empleado varias fuentes distintas: Eurydice, Eurostat y los informes internacionales PISA y TALIS de la OCDE. Estos indicadores se encuentran con frecuencia interrelacionados a fin de ofrecer una mejor panorámica del aprendizaje de lenguas en Europa.
