The results show that the German translations generally preserve Latin, French, Greek and Italian passages and do not add intratextual translations to support the readers’ understanding. The French translation maintains most of the Latin but does not add another type of multilingua…
Managing Latin
Our study maps the practices of managing Latin in English texts from over a thousand years. Mediation is a communicative activity which involves explaining the content of a conversation or text to another person. In contexts of multilingual writing, this is typically self-mediation, which a writer may perform by complementing code-switches with intratextual translations in the text. The data for the study are drawn from corpora of English histori…

The strategies for de…
