ABSTRACT
Having looked at several dozens of examples, interpreted the original in its context and compared systematically varied translation versions with regard to their contextual appropriateness, we have reached a point where we should step back and review our findings. The crucial question I asked at the beginning of the Key was: which paraphrases should be chosen to overcome the differences between the languages? What I wanted to find were predictive statements, lending themselves to empirical verification. That is, I was looking for statements of the type ‘if x then y’, and the question I have to answer now is: have I come anywhere near this goal?
