DISPENSING WITH SUBORDINATION IN TRANSLATION – CONSEQUENCES ON DISCOURSE STRUCTURE

The paper first outlines some motivations of translational upgrading of subordinate clauses to independent sentences in a German-Norwegian / Norwegian-German parallel corpus of popular science text. Taking German non-restrictive relative clauses as a frequent type of example in the German-Norwegian corpus fragment, I then discuss some consequences shifts from syntactic subordination to paratactic sentence sequences have on the interpretation of the target language vs. source language text.
