  Article:   DISCOURSE AWARENESS. RAISING THE TRANSLATORS’ AWARENESS OF DISCOURSE-RELEVANT ISSUES.

Authors:  SILVIA IRIMIEA. 		 
       
         
  Abstract:  The present article surveys a few discourse-relevant issues that impact on translations, and, consequently, should be studied by translators. It goes out from discussing older and more recent and daunting approaches to discourse attempting to find a common ground for teaching discourse. It further tackles such issues like: the functional macro-patterning of discourse, discourse elements, relations and signals, variables accounting for discourse, realization of micro- and macro-level discourse coherence. The article points out some effective linguistic devices that ensure the rhetoric of discourse. Finally, other issues like the reader’s expectations are exploited both within the broader framework of discourse concepts and within the concept of culturally determined discourse variables, such as scripts and schemas.

Key words: Discourse, functional macro-patterning, coherence, reader’s expectations, discourse quality and production
