all levels. This is discussed in Chapter Three. The activation of
the model is intended to test the applicability of the model not
only to translation quality assessment but also to text analysis
and text translation. Therefore, the experiment in Chapter Four
had to be introduced.
(5) Having established the correspondences and identified the
obligatory, extended and accessory meanings, comparisons of source
and target texts follow in Chapter Four. Then translation quality
is assessed in relation to the equivalence between source and
target texts as seen from the standpoint of the rhetorical model.
(6) It remains to be said that though translations of a given text may
vary, this variability is attributed to subjective factors which
make themselves perceptible in the analysis and translation oi the
source text. However, the rhetorical model will reduce the
subjective factors to minimal proportionSif the translator commits
himself to the obligatory meaning of the source text. Besides,
deviation from the skeletal meaning of the text or digression into
irrelevant material will not be possible. Manoeuverability will be
confined only to the formalistic features of the text.
I would like to make a few suggestions to translation students and
trainees. These suggestions are:
