Relevance Studies in Poland. Volume 3

The ''Relevance Studies in Poland'' series accommodates selected papers
written by the participants of the biennial conference ''Interpreting for
Relevance: Discourse and Translation'' held in Kazimierz Dolny. This
volume consists of two parts. Part I presents papers dealing with
translation problems, such as rendering biblical texts in contemporary
languages, cultural barriers, omissions, proper names, and requirements
of legal translation. Part II covers a number of miscellaneous topics:
humour, situational irony, interpretation of metaphor and hyperbole,
society-conditioned preferences for implicit communication, impoliteness
in political discourse, word formation seen as ad hoc concept
development, mental representations in blind children, and the
exploitation of metaphorical imagery in poetry.
