Looks to me as though it modifies only "assaig", Explanation: because there'd be no reason to apply it to any of the other items. I think what it's doing here is distinguishing the essays they publish from op-ed fluff. In answer to your other question, no, I'd say "popular" is a little too general to render "divulgatiu", though I'm afraid I can't offer you an alternative off the top of my head. |

exacte, nomes qualifica "assaig". Explanation: "divulgatiu" means it informs people. how about translating it for "informative"? Divulgar: "Fer arribar (una cosa) a coneixement d'un gran nombre de persones". Diccionari de la llengua catalana. Diccionaris de l'Enciclopedia catalana. Good luck! |

educational Explanation: I'd go for "essays of an educational nature". Since this is how we usually refer to things which inform the greater public about things in the wider world. EG: Educational programmes on TV. Alternatives might be "documentary essays" or "factual essays" |

all Explanation: ...amb especial atenció a les biografies i les memòries, la història o l’assaig periodístic o divulgatiu de qualitat with /paying special attention to quality biographies and memoirs, history and journalistic essays They are never going to just qualify 2 items as 'quality', as, by implication, it would seem that the other 2 items were not 'quality'. The adjectiuve qualifies all. I prefer journalistic and general essays |
