what is grammatical equivalence
  

Top answer

It seems to have to do with translation: In translation terms, equivalence is a term used to refer to the nature and extent of the relationships between SL (source language) and TL (target language) texts or smaller linguistic units. Grammatical equivalence refers to the diversity of grammatical categories across languages. Grammatical rules may vary across languages and this may pose some problems in terms of finding a direct correspondence in the TL.
