Definitions
- 1 A unit of a cultural or linguistic repertoire.
"In our exemplary case, that of the tension between textemes and repertoremes, this may imply the promotion of the "adequate" option which, even though often advocated by teachers and critics, proved to be marginal in actual practice, namely 'to replace SL-text textemes by ad hoc combinations of textual relations equivalent to those found in that text and TL-items capable of fulfilling equivalent textual functions,' even if, as a result, certain deviations from target-repertories would occur, with possible bearings on the text's well-formedness."
