- Description
- Combines historical pragmatics and translation studies, using them to clarify issues fundamental to both. Examines translations of questions in "Cantar de mio Cid" and translations of lines from WBP (ll.1-3 and 149-51), assessing in the latter case how Modern English and Modern German translations change the illocution of the lines.
