In reply to Anne Louise. Glad you are watching, Anne Louise! I believe this is the Mosqueteras post you have in mind: http://www.4mosqueteras.com/2016/07/la-lengua-que-hablamos-y-que-articula-nuestro-mundo-sujetos-y-pronombres/ Thanks for helping us think through these issues! We need eagle-eyed translators on the loose in this world.

The only comment I have, and this may not have been discussed in Nida at all, so if it doesn’t apply to his book, please ignore it – is that when re-assembling the sentence in the target language, it is extremely important to remember not to force the translated segments back into the same sentence structure as the source. This is something you addressed quite thoroughly, regarding subjects and pronouns in a recent 4 mosqueteras.. It applies equally to all elements of sentence structure, from prepositional phrases to use of gerunds to word order and where the subject should appear in a sentence.
