Synergy: Different Perspectives and Approaches in Postcolonial Studies aims at examining and exploring alternative perspectives to postcolonial studies. Accordingly, in the book, the use of postcolonialism in translation studies in literature, the Gothic, the colonial perspective, the issue of immigration, rewriting, and literary criticism are addressed as the subjects of postcolonial studies.

Translation Studies now mostly focuses on an enlarged understanding of translation. In line with this growth, this collection aims at providing new perspectives to the field by focusing on the various dimensions of translational acts in the 21st century with special emphasis on multiple identities. In this respect, the book offers wide-ranging topics focusing on sign language interpreting, translator training, gender and translation, hyperobjects in translation, translation technologies, and multimodality in translation. By presenting all these current subjects influencing the translation process in our century, we underline the changing trends in translation and interpreting practices within the framework of interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approaches.

This book, part of the series "Synergy: Translation Studies, Literature, Linguistics", intends to gather new perspectives in the field of linguistics. It particularly deals with the cross-cultural aspects of language focusing on the themes such as intercultural communication, intercultural pragmatics, critical discourse analysis, corpus linguistics and second language acquisition. The research covered in this edited book mainly centres on Turkish and English languages benefiting from qualitative, quantitative or mixed methodologies. Our utmost aim is to present various points of view from different areas of linguistics and offer new insights for researchers and scholars in the field.
