Abstract
In both research and practice, translation quality assessment is a complextask involving a range of linguistic and extra-linguistic factors. This chapterprovides a critical overview of the established and developing approaches to thedefinition and measurement of translation quality in human and machine translationworkflows across a range of research, educational, and industry scenarios. Weintertwine literature from several interrelated disciplines dealing with contemporarytranslation quality assessment and, while we acknowledge the need for diversityin these approaches, we argue that there are fundamental and widespread issuesthat remain to be addressed, if we are to consolidate our knowledge and practiceof translation quality assessment in increasingly technologised environments acrossresearch, teaching, and professional practice.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
