SYNAPS - A Journal of Professional Communication 22(2008) pp.3-25Sammendrag
A variety of texts are translated to fulfil functions for political communication across languages, cultures, and
ideologies. For example, newspapers regularly provide quotes of statements by foreign politicians, without
explicitly indicating that these politicians were actually speaking in their own languages. Politicians react to
statements by other politicians as they were presented to them in translation. Political scientists and other
experts often debate the potential political consequences of (the translation of) a statement.
