“What are the merits of this collection in the context of translation studies? To my knowledge, it is a first major collection of research articles on the translation of dialogue or, more generally, fictive orality. The great variety of phenomena, text types, genres, and languages covered is clearly a merit, and translators, translation scholars and teachers of literary translation will find a wealth of material. The fact that the individual contributions have a common theoretical framework that holds them together and is described in detail in the introduction is also a plus. […] The book is therefore warmly recommended to readers interested in learning more about the constraints, forces, and routines that govern the decision-making processes involved in translation.” - Waltraub Kolb, University of Vienna, in: Target 27.3 (2015), pp. 472-477
