Description

Lost in Automatic Translation offers a comprehensive exploration of how modern language technologies are fundamentally changing the way we communicate, learn, and understand English. Vered Shwartz investigates the gaps between human language understanding and machine translation, revealing the nuances that automated systems often miss.

The book addresses critical questions about accuracy, cultural context, and meaning preservation in an increasingly digital linguistic landscape. Through case studies and practical examples, Shwartz demonstrates how users navigate these technological intermediaries daily, from social media to professional communication. She examines both the benefits of instant translation and the risks of over-reliance on imperfect systems.

Essential reading for linguists, technologists, and anyone interested in how artificial intelligence impacts human communication, this work provides insight into bridging the gap between technological capability and authentic human expression.
