Abstract

[In Chaps. 3 and 4, I attempt to provide a holistic view of what the process of written non-literary translation may be like when translation is performed by a professional. Many scholars describe the process focusing on some of its aspects they believe to be the most important ones, sometimes even overstressing these aspects to the neglect of others. At the same time, more often than not they employ numerous ‘conventional’ terms (such as ‘text’, ‘sentenceSentence’, ‘meaning’, ‘information’, ‘context’, ‘translation unit’, ‘translation strategy’, ‘translation shift’) as self-explanatory, occasionally citing the definitions of these terms from earlier works without critical revision.]
