This book seeks to offer, for the first time in a full-length book, an investigation into the major issues involving popular science writing in print media, in both consumer and specialized magazines, with specific focus on the feature article, when it undertakes a process of translation into another language.

This book is firmly rooted in translation studies, in particular within a linguistics framework. However, it also draws on other disciplines, like media studies and science communication studies. Furthermore, since dealing with a text-type firmly grounded on the professional domain of journalism, also some notions from that area are seen as vital for a more thorough understanding.

The book focuses on popular science writing, not in the sense of intralingual simplification for the sake of non-expert readers, but of science-related writing addressed at nonspecialist audiences. Features are considered a specific genre (encompassing a range of sub-genres), in which the journalist/writer has some freedom to experiment with style and introduce his/her own voice. This book seeks to look into the linguistic strategies that the writer uses within this creative and subjective dimension, and in particular what happens when all this undergoes a process of interlinguistic transfer into another language. What is the extent of the translator’s/ editor’s intervention?

To explore this issue, Popular Science Discourse in Translation adopts a linguistics perspective, in particular that of Systemic Functional Linguistics (Halliday 1994, Halliday rev. by Matthiessen 2014) and of Appraisal theory (Martin & White 2005).

In order to show the analytical models in operation, a selection of pilot studies is presented, to illustrate in detail how a linguistic analysis of a source text into a target text can offer fruitful insights into text interpretation.
