✦ Synopsis

In this book, the study of interpretation is pursued with the double aim of examining the role of interpretation in initiating, processing and receiving text constructs, and exploring meta-textual constructs such as self-attribution, text integrity, author identity, and readability scales. Among other things, the author demonstrates how hermeneutic filtering enables academic discourse to maintain a delicate balance that post-production readers highlight or dispute. In translation, the translator undertakes post-production and pre-production processing, and this extent, inter alia, translation is a viable candidate for studying the relevance of interpretation to text constructs. Hence,, the book serves as a textbook and/or a reference for students and researchers in Text Linguistics, Corpus Linguistics and Translation Theory and Practice
