* I have no affiliation with the authors I mention, nor do I receive any benefit, monetary or otherwise, from mentioning them or their books. I am just recommending these books because I liked them and I think others who are into linguistics and translation might like them too. *
Here I discuss some books I've been reading lately that deal with translation and linguistics:
