The Methodology of Translation Description and its Relevance for the Practice of Translation.

van Leuven-Zwart, Kitty M.

Babel: International Journal of Translation, v31 n2 p77-85 1985

Spanish and Dutch versions of a novel illustrate how seemingly innocent and subtle shifts in perspective can affect the most important and distinguishing qualities of a text. (MSE)
