This book deals with the nature of translations as texts,
concentrating on English and German. Its focus is on texts rather
than on sentences, on embeddedness in contexts rather than on
decontextualized examples, and on units of meaning rather than on
items of form. While this orientation may set the book apart from
linguistic approaches of a more formalist and more narrowly
structuralist leaning, it does insist on a focus on language. The
argumentation presented here shows a high regard for details of
linguistic realization, rather than a discourse exclusively
situated on higher semiotic levels. Although the author subscribes
to a basically socio-semiotic and functionalist orientation, the
specific contribution attempted here to the socio-semiotic
enterprise is that of the linguist and translation scholar, rather
than that of the literary studies or cultural studies specialist.
The approach seeks to consider translations and related forms of
texts on macro- and micro-levels, offering tools for the language
professional and for the researcher.
