Chapter 3
Theoretical framework
Due to the complexity of the explicitated information, decisions on whether a shift can be regarded as explicitation and what motivates the interpreter to make it can be rather subjective. Since it is significant to show as clearly as possible how those choices have been made, this chapter elaborates on the theoretical framework of this study.
