Abstract

One well-known problem in any field of investigation is the difficulty of overcoming the lack of terminological consistency in the treatment of basic issues within a specific area. Such inconsistency is not only misleading in that it may confuse readers as to the reference of theconcept referred to, but also dangerous in that it can completely undermine the claims and arguments put forward by the author usingthe notion. I am aiming this comment at a central lack of clarity concerning the concept of FUNCTION as used by Roberts (1992: 1-16),in her article "The Concept of Function of Translation and Its Application to Literary Texts".
