This Element focuses on three pragmatics issues - relational work, participation structure, and mediality. By reviewing the trajectory of pragmatics research on translation over time, and outlining our understanding of the Pragmatics in Translation, we arrive at a set of potential research questions which represent desiderata for future research.

This Element discusses the challenges that different types of corpora offer for the study of pragmatic phenomena. The focus lies on a hands-on approach to methods and data that provides orientation for methodological decisions. We identify areas in which new methodological developments are needed in order to make new types of data accessible.
