The Translator As Communicator is a book which demands a great deal of previous linguistic knowledge from its readers. It is not, therefore, addressed to 'regular' translators, but to those who, besides being translators, are also scholars and consequently familiar with concepts of linguistics as well as of discourse analysis. Should it ever be adopted in a translation course it should only be recommended to advanced students, and even these would require some further readings in these fields in order to appreciate better the book's content.
