Definitions

A unit of a cultural or linguistic repertoire.

Examples

“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.”

“When a repertoreme is retrieved from the repertoire it is part of and is put to actual use (i.e., inserted in a particular text, in the most general sense of the word), it enters into a unique network of internal relations, peculiar to that act/text.”

“A repertoreme becomes a texteme when, as a result of being used in a particular text, it assumes specific functions which derive from the special relations obtaining between itself and the text.”
