This collection of essays brings together a variety of experts on translation and the pun, from a range of disciplines and schools of thought such as theology, deconstruction, feminism and contrastive linguistics.

It traces the intellectual itinerary of their author, who started out as a French and Comparative Literature scholar some four decades ago trying to get a better grip on the problem of inter-literary contacts, and who soon became a key figure in the emergent discipline of Translation Studies, where he is widely known as an indefatigable promoter of descriptively oriented research. This collection shows how Jose Lambert has never stopped asking new questions about the crucial but often...
