- Description
- Uses "abductive logic" to infer "translators' probable understandings of their own actions, and compares these with the reasoning" provided by various theories of translation, assessing as case studies Chaucer's use of translation in CT (especially Mel) "and that of Japanese storytellers in classical Kamigata rakugo." Focuses on such issues as "foreignization" and "excogitatio" and mediation as ways of conceptualizing "the act of translation."
