Abstract
This article focuses on wordplay as a special problem in Translation Studies. First, the author gives an overview of wordplay and ambiguity in translation. Then, he goes beyond the dogma of untranslatability. The author further examines Shakespeare’s puns abroad, before discussing the styles of scholarship.
