| Summary: | This penetrating study has its origins in the author's Otago University doctoral thesis, and its subject-matter is particularly influenced by his involvement in biblical translation projects in the Asia-Pacific region. Particularly when translating such a complex and multilayered text as John's Apocalypse, questions of relevance are much to the fore: both relevance for the contemporary interpreting community and for the original audiences. In the case of the latter, how did they pick their way through the web of allusion and possible meaning, in order to make sense of the text and, more importantly, to find themselves in the text? Stephen Pattemore tackles such questions by drawing upon Relevance Theory, a development in the linguistic field of pragmatics. |
