Negotiating Meaning-part 1: The Brain

Translators negotiate meaning when they attempt to mediate an original communication into a new context. But meaning has already been negotiated whenever the original communication took place. Translators need to understand this process at various levels, from the individual and cognitive to the social and cultural. The first PP presentation and the article it is built on represent an overview of all three series under the "negotiating meaning" heading.
