    Assess the standards of the writer
    Similarly the same referent may often be expressed
    positively, neutrally, or negatively in many languages

    It is neutral in French but negative in English

    Consider the quality of the writing


    the authority of the text
    Consider connotation and denotation
    consider the cultural aspects of the SL text
    Underline all figure of speech
    You have to study the text not for itself but as something
    that may have to be reconstituted for a different
    readership in a different culture
