The fuzziness of boundaries in abstract categories, the similarity among multiple versions in analysis, integration, and exploration of the source, and the prototypes holding core position within a domain that go beyond regular comprehension lead translation to an overlapping strategy by comparison typical members on both source and target sides. This is especially useful when context shows rhythmic and proselike features.
