Abstract
The authors of this book propose a comprehensive approach of translation studies which they think is satisfactory from a theoretical point of view and appilicable in the everyday practice of translation. The "variational" approach is a two-tier model which first isolates a wide set of paraphrastic possibilities and then goes through a series of selection procedures to produce a final text. Thus translation emerges as an essentially creative activity.
