The audiences of the catechism translations presented include members of the same or a different Christian denomination as well as non-Christian mono- or polytheistic communities with or without elaborate literacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe multiform strategies of translation or adaptation therefore chosen provide not only important linguistic data, but also fascinating insights into complex processes of accommodation. The creativity of the translators contributed to the shaping of written registers, language standardisation, lexical innovations, and even the introduction of literacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47933933879532,"sku":"9783662725375","price":150.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9783662725375-contents-of-faith-in-transfer.jpg?v=1783885601"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/series-ubersetzungskulturen-der-fruhen-neuzeit.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
