'Sofia Malamatidou makes a compelling case for the use of triangulation in corpus-based translation studies (CTS). Arguing that triangulation has thus far been exploited in mostly limited and ad hoc ways in CTS, she champions a more ambitious and principled approach – one that reaps the benefits of combining both different data sources and different methods. Whether she is presenting a novel corpus typology, or encouraging scholars to broaden the quantitative basis of their research, Malamatidou offers a fresh perspective, and makes a sophisticated contribution to the coming-of-age of corpus-based translation studies.' — Professor Dorothy Kenny, Dublin City University
