Saying (almost) the same thing. On some relevant differences between Greek-language originals and their Armenian translations

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

[Autom. eng. transl.] The essay supports the need to distance oneself from the 'source-oriented' point of view that has characterized most of the studies on the Armenian versions of Filone's works in favor of a new 'target-oriented' approach. Only in this way will it be possible to understand the motivations of translation choices that not only reveal the linguistic competence of the translator but can also shed light on the ways in which the Greek text is received in the Armenian environment.
