According to House (1977), covert translation...
...enjoys the status of its SL in the target language's culture.
...is closely subjected to the SL culture and doesn't enjoy the SL in the target language.
...attempts to render the exact contextual meaning of the original text.
...abides by the cultural norms of the target language.
Peter Newmark (1981) establishes two different methods of translation:
Covert translation and overt translation.
Foreignization and domestication.
Iusta via media and Semantic translation.
Semantic translation and Communicative translation.
According to Venuti, what are the differences between Foreignization and Domestication?
Foreignization replaces the SL's cultural features, while Domestication preserves them.
Foreignization abides by the cultural norms of the TL, while Domestication retains the SL's norms.
Foreignization preserves the SL's cultural elements, while Domestication replaces them.
Foreignization enjoys the SL's status in the TL, while Domestication is closely linked to the TL's culture.

TRUE
FALSE
According to Peter Newmark, communicative translation...
...attempts to render the exact contextual meaning of the SL, with help from semantics and syntax.
...attempts to produce on TL readers an effect as close as possible to the one obtained in the SL.
... is closely linked to the SL's culture.
...retains the norms and cultural elements from the SL text.
"Translation can be conceived as a communicative transaction, a pragmatic action and a semiotic interaction". Name the author(s) of this quote.
