Abstract

In this book, Jeremy Munday aims to investigate the translator's subjective interpretation and intervention in the translation of value positions represented in the source text. As Munday draws mostly on Martin and White's (2005) appraisal theory, developed within systemic functional linguistics, he also aims to test out the model for the analysis of the translated text. Published in 2012, the book already received a few reviews. However, the novelty and complexity of its theoretical foundation within Translation Studies justifies yet another review.
