Abstract:

The intuition that translations are somehow different from texts that
are not translations has been around for many years, but most of the
common linguistic frameworks are not comprehensive enough to account
for the wealth and complexity of linguistic phenomena that make a
translation a special kind of text.

The present book provides a novel methodology for investigating the
specific linguistic properties of translations. As this methodology is
both corpus-based and driven by a functional theory of language, it is
powerful enough to account for the multi-dimensional nature of
cross-linguistic variation in translations and cross-lingually
comparable texts.

Elke Teich teaches at the University of Saarland, Saarbrücken, Germany.
