Translation and Hybridity in Scenes and Frames Semantics

It first reviews the origin of SFS; then it maps SFS onto Nida’s linguistic model of translation process and the Interpretive Theory of Translation; it examines in the next section, withi...
متن کاملQuotation: Compositionality and Innocence without Demonstration
We discuss two kinds of quotation, namely indirect quotation (e.g., ‘Anita said that Mexico is beautiful’) and pure quotation (e.g., ‘Mexico’ has six letters).

The positive plaint is an alternative accou...

Semantic attributes of linguistic memes decrease or proliferate in replication and spreading, which involves a dynamic development of semantic category. More specific...
