Translation studies. Melchiorre Cesarotti. Idioms.Abstract
I present a translation of the text by Melchiorre Cesarotti, in which the author discusses the peculiar expressions of a given language, the so-called idioms. Cesarotti assesses the relevance of translating and incorporating in target language the idioms belonging to the “rhetorical” category, that is, those not directly linked to a nation, but to a communicative potential without borders.
