• sampling techniques, measurement, and survey design;

• how to describe data;

• how to analyze relationships;

• how to interpret results.

Each part includes references to additional resources and extensive examples from published empirical work. A quick reference table for specific tests is also included in the appendix.

This user-friendly guide is the essential primer on quantitative methods for all students and researchers in translation and interpreting studies. Accompanying materials are available online, including step-by-step walkthroughs of how analysis was conducted, and extra sample data sets for instruction and self study: https://www.routledge.com/9781138124967.
