Table of ContentsReviewsThis is an impressive research monograph, which analyses the language and translation practices of SMEs located in the English-speaking UK.

Natalie Wilmot addresses questions at the nexus of international business, entrepreneurship, translation studies and sociolinguistics. The book will definitely interest scholars in all these fields, but will also benefit business practitioners and students. * Wilhelm Barner-Rasmussen, Abo Akademi University, Finland * This is an impressive research monograph, which analyses the language and translation practices of SMEs located in the English-speaking UK.
