Abstract

This work is concerned with the description of content relations between original and translation. The starting points are textual references to culture-specific issues. Contributions from Cultural Studies and linguistics in general and contributions from translation research in particular serve as a theoretical base. The suggested text analysis builds on six types of content relations and a distinction between explicit and implicit culture purchases. These categories are exemplified on the basis of Norwegian source texts and German target texts for three text types.
