Abstract

THE ARTICLE DEALS WITH EXCESSIVE INTERFERENCE IN A SCHOLARLY TEXT. WE ANALYSED THE REASONS AND EXPLANATIONS PROVIDED BY CRITICS TO JUSTIFY THIS INTERFERENCE, WHICH WE FOUND UNCONVINCING. THE COSTS OF STANDARDISING OR SIMPLIFYING A TEXT AGAINST THE AUTHOR`S WISHES ARE SO HIGH THAT IT IS WORTHWHILE TO OPPOSE THIS TENDENCY BY ADOPTING A DIFFERENT APPROACH TO A SCHOLARLY TEXT. THE ROLE OF A TEXT IS TO PROVOKE REFLECTION, OFFER AN OPPORTUNITY FOR DIALOGUE, PRESENT THE AUTHOR`S THOUGHTS IN A FORM HE OR SHE HAS CHOSEN, HOWEVER CLUMSY IT MIGHT BE, AS LONG AS IT IS STYLISTICALLY AND GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT.
