oh my gosh, I love this take and I need to Translation Theory about it for a moment -- spontaneous🧵

One of my favorite translation theory concepts is skopos theory, which asks the question: what is the purpose of the text? Why was it created, and what does it seek to do for its audience? For comedic creative works, one of the main purposes is to make the audience laugh.

I've missed these. So glad you're geeking out over here now.
