And if the skopos demands intra-textual incoherence, the standard of coherence rule is no longer vivid.（忠实规则服从连贯规则，两者又都服从目的规则） Relationship among the Rules 第三十一页，共五十九页，2022年，8月28日 No Littering 第三十二页，共五十九页，2022年，8月28日 Skopos theory reflects a general shift from predominantly LINGUISTIC and rather formal translation theories to a more functionally and socioculturally oriented concept of translation.
