What is The Quest for Equivalence about?
1.3 A Three-Level Approach to Equivalence 1.3.0 The Three Levels Now let us consider the second distinction -the distinction between different levels of linguistic analysis. Broadly speaking, we may distinguish three tnain levels: (1) the lexical level; (2) the syntactic level; (3) the text level. #### 1.3.1 The Lexical Level At the lexical level translation equivalence is established between lexical items, e. g. assurance sur facultes = cargo Insurance = Cargoversichemng/Kargoversicherung. Examples: (2) L'assurance maritime se divise en deux sous-branches: ['assurance sur corps et Vassurance sur faculiis. (Bru&üere/Charon 1967: 237) (3) It should be noted that since 1973 it has bcen the practice to use "slip policies" for many cargo insurances. (Dover 8 1975: 34) (4) Kargovcrsicherung, Cargoversicherung (span. carga = Saumtierlast), Versicherung'der Ladung bei Schiffstransporten. (Sellien/Sellien 1Ü 1979: s. v. Kargoversicherung) Between the lexical and the syntactic levels there is an ill-defined area where lexical and syntactic elements overlap, äs in grammatical collocations (cf. Benson et al. 1986: ix-xxiii) and certain types of multi-word lexical items (cf. Ricken 1983: 139,
