Biography
Sofia Malamatidou is a Lecturer in Translation Studies at the University of Birmingham, UK. Her main research interests are in the fields of corpus linguistics, translation studies, and contact linguistics. She has published papers in international journals (The Translator, Target, Meta) and edited volumes.
'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
