Chapter: Pinpointing the Choice: Meaning and the Search for Equivalents in a Translated Text

DOI: 10.1558/equinox.45226

Blurb:

Halliday provides further discussion on translation equivalence and translation shift. Emphasizing the notion of choice in meaning-making, Halliday delineates the notion of “pinpointing the choice” and interprets translation as the exercise of choice. While making choices, a translator will give priority to these forms of equivalence, and accept the resulting shift elsewhere.
