Pragmatemes in Audiovisual Translation in English, French, and Polish

This book examines the linguistic phenomenon of pragmatemes - fixed expressions used predictably in specific communication contexts, such as "Bless you" after someone sneezes or "Cash or credit?" in a retail setting. Though often overlooked, these units are vital to everyday communication, playing a significant role in language fluency.
