The rise of globalization, the strengthening of multicultural societies, the abolishment of borders, technological advances, social networks, and the increasing political power of economic forces are all unmistakable occurrences that are characteristic of the 21st century. Communication within these multilingual societies comes across new developments and challenges that inevitably modify each type of intervention. All these issues are subjects of growing interest within the scope of research and training in Translation and Interpreting Studies and intercultural communication. This article focuses on some of these issues. First, the author will briefly write about some overarching themes in Translation and Interpreting Studies (T&IS). This will be followed by an overview of the influence of some disciplines. After that, some tendencies in research methods used in T&IS will be explore. Finally, an example of crossing domains in research and practice in T&IS in the 21 st century will be presented taking as an example the Master Thesis from the MA in Intercultural Communication, Public Service Interpreting and Translation (Chinese-Spanish) offered at

“…Le & Liu, 2018b, Gong et al, 2018a and some focused on a single topic, which are highly interested in the literature (e.g. Arik & Arik, 2017;Van Doorslaer & Gambier, 2015;Zanettin et al, 2015;. Common points in those studies point out that there is a considerable increase in language related publications over time.…”

This study aims to reveal the extent to which language learning strategies (LLS) are studied, including the changing research trends, the most prominen t scholars working on LLS and the countries in which the articles are based on, citation analysis, global academic collaboration and emerging top research topics. The analysis of the related literature was carried out by employing a bibliometric analysis of the research and review papers indexed in the Web of Science databases: Social Science Citation Index (SSCI), Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI), Conference Proceedings Citation Index-Social Sciences and Humanities and Arts & Humanities Citation Index (A&HCI) between 1977 and 2018. In this research, no separation was set from the research of language learning strategy (LLS) use as a native or non-native language. The results showed that there has been a booming interest in language learning strategy research over time. While the first study appeared in 1977, there were 383 LLS publications, most of which were in the field of education (%68.41) in the Web of Science (WoS) till 2018. The publications included articles, proceedings, book reviews, editorial material, review and meeting abstract. It was found that language learning strategy research focused mostly on individual learner variables such as motivation, gender, proficiency in English as a foreign language while most of those studies were carried out through Strategy Inventory of Language Learning (Oxford, 1990) by quantitative methodology. This is the first study reporting the landscape of global research tendencies and trends in LLS. This study contributes to the understanding of the overall LLS academic research and gives an insight into the past, today and future of the language studies.

“…However, it is surprising that few studies have made use of the bibliographic data rapidly accumulating in the field. Bibliometric research in translation studies has only just emerged in recent years when the publication Perspective, a renowned journal in translation studies devoted an entire issue to studies using metabibliometric and bibliometric methods (Gile 2015;Li 2015;Martínez-Gómez 2015;Zanettin et al 2015;Zhang et al 2015). As pointed out by the editors of the special issue, the bibliometric approach provides a new perspective in translation studies that may assist in advancing the development of the discipline (Rovira-Esteva et al 2015).…”

“…These studies highlighted the reliability of bibliographic information as research data; however, except for Li (2015), the studies relied principally on counting publication types (Martínez-Gómez 2015), keywords (Martínez-Gómez 2015; Zanettin et al 2015;Zhang et al 2015), and authors and affiliations (Martínez-Gómez 2015;Zhang et al 2015) in their analyses, leaving citation information (i.e. the references of a scientific paper) almost completely unexplored.…”

Literature regarding translation studies has increased rapidly in recent decades, yet there have been few empirical studies to investigate the research context of translation studies at the global level. A bibliometric analysis was carried out in this research to probe the current status and the research themes of translation studies papers published between 2000 and 2015 in all journals indexed by the Web of Science database. Bibliometric methods and knowledge visualization technologies were employed to thoroughly investigate publication activities, geographic distributions, core literature, and the distinctive research areas of translation research. The study distinguishes three research areas in translation studies, namely, theoretical translation studies, translation and interpreting training, and descriptive translation studies. The dissemination of knowledge in these areas is realized by publication sources specializing in language and linguistics, applied linguistics and pragmatics, phonetics and acoustics, and translation and interpreting. The core literature in translation studies has been focused to focus on linguistic theories, research methodology, theoretical models, interpreting, and new perspectives. This study provides researchers with several useful insights to better understand developments in translation studies.Electronic supplementary material The online version of this article (
