Translation as an Intertextual Practice
The article uses insights from the theory of intertextuality in order to explain the nature of the relationship between the source text and the target text, which are here called the prototext and the metatext. It argues that the two texts stand in an intertextual relationship to one another because the metatext repeats the prototext in terms of content and form without being limited to it. Two levels of intertextuality are distinguished in trans…
Manipulation in translation
The present article reports on an empirical study of how and why translators manipulate texts and the reasons for major manipulative shifts in translation. The study involved ten female and ten male experienced English‐Persian translators. The empirical part comprised three phases: an initial pilot study, a translation task involving the twenty translators, and interviews with the translators. Among other things, the study showed that, as a trans…
A gestalt approach to manipulation
The article explains unconscious manipulation as a translation‐specific activity, with resort to the two major concepts of pattern and pattern completion as discussed in Gestalt psychology.

This unconscious…

The article explores the relationship between the ability to translate and foreign language proficiency. The authors developed a battery of tests based on established techniques ('cloze') and formats (multiple‐choice). The development work is described in detail and so are the findings, which conclude that foreign language profiency is, in itself, no guarantee that people can translate
