The notion of factor is essential to translation studies since all important aspects relating to them can be expressed in terms of it. By systematically exploring all possible kinds of translation factors, the authors make a substantial and remarkable contribution to the evolution of translation studies. There is no study which examines aspects of translation in such imaginative and instructive ways. This book represents a supreme standard of scientific accomplishment. - Christian Todenhagen, California State University, Chico I like the authors' willingness and ability to analytically address thorny and subtle problems of translation which are all too often simply avoided as unbreachable-their heavy reliance on naturalistic as opposed to contrived examples. - Joseph L. Malone, Barnard College and Columbia University
