Abstract

Gunilla Anderman and Margaret Rogers, eds. Word,Text, Translation: Liber Amicorum for Peter Newmark. Clevedon-Buffalo-This is a collection of articles from scholars throughout the world. It ranges widely in subject matter, reflecting the diverse perspectives of Peter Newmark's interests. The first section acknowledges his concern with the word in translation. Following an overview of cultural and other factors influencing translation decisions, the importance of context is considered. In the section on text, various aspects of text and text-type are discussed. Finally, the discussion moves beyond the present and some new issues are tackled.
