This evaluative chapter considers the discursive, textual and translational dimensions of Christina Schäffner's scholarly work, with the intention to inspire and generate ideas for future research. This chapter emphasises three elements in particular, which are: 1) political discourse analysis, 2) modes of textual enquiry and 3) the translational significance of discourses in Europe, and we strive to acknowledge most of Schäffner's theoretical influences (which range from text linguistics, pragmatics and cognitive metaphor theory to political discourse analysis, e.g. Austin 1962, Searle 1969, Lakoff and Johnson 1980, de Beaugrande and Dressler 1981, Chilton 2004).
