Towards a top-down method of translation: register and the morphosemantic hierarchy
Abstract
This thesis addresses the issues of direct translation and how they can be resolved by translating
from the top down—by first identifying and translating the register and semantic levels of a
piece into the new culture and time period. This method is used to translate passages from Old
English, Old Norse, and Gothic, and demonstrates the difference between translating formal and
informal registers.
