Editorial Reviews
Review
“In sum, this book demonstrates a scientifically thorough and explicitly presented piece of work on translation and translation properties, and is highly recommended for the scientific community taking translation and contrastive linguistics seriously for understanding not only contrastive phenomena between German and English, but for understanding the impact translation may have on language use.” Bergljot Behrens in: Functions of Language 2/2014
