Face Threats in interpreting - Magdalena Bartłomiejczyk - książka wyd. 2016

Opis

There is a time in the career of every academic when you are supposed to have authored a monograph. Although it is not an official requirement, it fits into the general “publish or perish” adage. The main problem with this, in my view, is the need to find proper balance between trying to publish mediocre works that have not been devoted enough blood, sweat and tears, and aspiring to create an opus magnum, something a scholar can genuinely be proud of as a pinnacle of his/her academic achievement. The latter option obviously seems much more noble; however, I have known some researchers so perfectionist in their attitude to writing that, due to endless additions and improvements, their books have actually never made it to the publishing house.
