Description
Provides an introduction to the 'problem' of metaphor in translation, looking at various theories and their implications and then presents a case study that illustrates how a careful study of metaphor in translation can thrust into relief the tripartite relationship between the universal, the culturally dependent and the individual, that is a pivZly conditioned and, therefore, a notable issue in translation.
