Implementation of Juliane House’s Revised 2015 Model of Translation Quality Assessment to a Literary Text: A Test Case

Abstract

In this article, our aim is to review House’s translation quality assessment models (1977, 1997 and 2015) and apply her latest one to a literary text. We would like to present it as a test case that could be carried out in the Translation classroom and, at the same time, ponder if, through translation assessment criteria, we can derive some suggestions as to the factors that translators should pay particular attention when translating a text, as well as helping them face the main difficulties that they might encounter along the way.
