Abstract

This book aims to provide some insight into the relation between semiotics and Translation Studies. The main focus is on motivations underlying literary language. The book contains five main chapters. The first chapter looks into semiotic approaches to translation. The second chapter investigates the semiotic features of literary discourse. The third chapter and following chapters examine literary translation – from a semiotic point of view – from a chiefly phonological, syntactic and semantic angle.
