From Necessity to Infinity – Interpretation in Language and Translation

From Necessity to Infinity contributes to the hermeneutic theory of language, suggesting that interpretation is a focal designate for any theory of language including the theory of translation. As such, the book advances a hermeneutic perspective to the study of language and translation, showing that any translation can be plotted on a continuum stretching from linguistic necessity to linguistic infinity. The individual paradigm is the catalyst of creative interpretation since it overrides the communal paradigm, asserts creativity, and upholds a base for conventions in human language.
