TRANSLATION AND NORMS
Edited by Christina Schaffner (Aston University)

DESCRIPTION
Translation norms are understood as internalised behavioural
constraints which embody the values shared by a community. In the two
main contributions it is argued that all decision in the translation
process are primarily governed by norms. The explanatory power of a
norm-based theory of translation is then critically reflected upon in
the debates and the responses.
