The WijiPedia entry on Paraphrase has a useful but non-technical explanaiton of the concept, However, many critics of Bible translations use an entirely different (and techniically specious) defintion of "anything that isn't or doesn't sound like the KJV". Such critics will use the word as a term of abuse when describing a translation that they don't like, which only shows up to us linguists/translators/interpreters how much the critics *don't* know about translation.
