An Explorative Discussion of Target Text Construction From the Perspective of Cognitive Context and Relevance
Yin Pi · 2004
The construction of Target Text (TT) is interpreted in terms of cognitive context and relevance and their effects on translation are analyzed. The applicability of Chomsky’s theory on surface structure and deep structure to TT construction is discussed. It is concluded that surface structure and deep structure should be weighed in light of cognitive context and relevance inference.
