Abstract

The textual organization of a sentence is the result of a mutual interaction between the two parallel and interrelated systems functionally labeled as "information and thematic structures". In any given context, the speaker/writer decides to choose among various thematic/informational patterns and tries, through mapping one structure on the other, to achieve discourse "TEXTUALITY". Different patterns of thematic/informational mappings may be affected by the so-called "tone groups" resulting in marked structures of different degrees typically carrying implicit meanings or special functions. Such structures are of a great significance in translation so that the way they are treated in the target text can make a basis for evaluating the overall translator's performance in achieving "functional/pragmatic equivalence". Since the information organization of a sentence is typically realized through the speaker's speech and since there is normally no speaker/writer present to read over his/her written text, it is the reader/translator's own reading(interpretation)that helps rendering the various patterns of information distribution in micro-linguistic terms. This is exactly where the translation process may face some serious challenges.
