What is it about?
Transgenres are discursive patterns that develop in recurring intercultural situations and are recognized and used by the discursive community that revolves around intercultural spaces. The paper explores the significance of this notion for understanding translation and interpreting as a social practice. It then deals with the origin of the notion by outlining cultural and linguistic approaches to translation as a creative practice. Finally, the article analyzes the empirical studies which have worked with the notion and highlights the results and their contribution to our knowledge of translated discursive practices.
