Theo Hermans It is surprising that the notion of equivalence should have loomed so large in the debate. In my paper the discussion of equivalence constitutes little more than a rearguard action. The suggestion was that the logic of working with a norms concept must inevitably lead to scepticism concerning the viability of equivalence. If translation is norm-governed as well as intentional, one-...

Belgian norms of the Waterloo-Stanford Group C Scale of Hypnotic Susceptibility (WSGC) are presented. A French translation of the WSGC was administered to 150 Belgium college students between October and December 2009. Belgium has 2 main linguistic groups, Dutch and French speakers. The present translation was conceived for all French-speaking populations. Score distribution, item analysis, and...

Each t-norm can be identified with its Cayley tomonoid, which consists of pairwise commuting order-preserving functions from the real unit interval to itself. Cayley tomonoids provide an easily manageable, yet versatile tool for the construction of t-norms. To give evidence to this claim, we review and reformulate several construction methods that are known in the literature. We adopt, on the o...

We describe new lower bounds for the complexity of the directed Hausdorr distance under translation and rigid motion. We exhibit lower bound constructions of (n 3) for point sets under translation, for the L 1 , L 2 and L 1 norms, (n 4) for line segments under translation , for any L p norm, (n 5) for point sets under rigid motion and (n 6) for line segments under rigid motion, both for the L 2...

Genderism is a segregating ideology that unfairly divides society into two groups of “inferior” and “superior” merely based on one’s sex. Sociocultural norms are accordingly assigned and although societies agree on its discrimination, they sometimes diverge in their perspectives when dealing with it; thus, its intercultural transmission can be challenging. The present paper aims to investigate ...

The past decades have seen a growing trend both in the quantity and quality of translation children’s literature (TCL). There been number publications focusing on TCL. However, few studies investigated TCL from perspective norm theory, prior research has primarily concentrated implied reader while ignoring actual readers. This study aimed to investigate expectancy norms real readers English-Chi...
