Abstract
This chapter will first outline the purpose and motivation of the present project in Sect. 1.1. This is followed by a review of the research background, a description of the form of sight translation used in the present study, and a definition of the concept of global and local styles in Sect. 1.2. Six research questions are raised: three related to the global aspects of translation styles , the other three to the local aspects of translation styles in Sect. 1.3. Significance of the study and structure of the book are presented in Sects. 1.4 and 1.5, respectively. The chapter ends with a summary in Sect. 1.6.
