Abstract:

This is an expanded and slightly revised version of the book of the same title
which caused quite a stir when it was first published (1995). It thus reflects
an additional step in an ongoing research project which was launched in the
1970s. The main objective is to transcend the limitations of using descriptive
methods as a mere ancillary tool and place a proper branch of DTS at the very
heart of the discipline, between the theoretical and the applied branches.
Throughout the book, theoretical and methodological discussions are
illustrated by an assortment of case studies, the emphasis being on the need
to take whatever one wishes to focus on within the contexts which are relevant
to it. Part One discusses the pivotal position of the descriptive branch
within Translation Studies, and Part Two then outlines a detailed rationale
for that positioning. This, in turn, supplies a framework for the case studies
comprising Part Three, where a number of exemplary issues are analysed and
contextualized: texts and modes of translational behaviour are situated in
their cultural setting, and textual components are related to their texts and
then also to the cultural constellations in which they are embedded. All this
leads to Part Four, which asks what the knowledge accumulated through
descriptive studies of the kind advocated in the book is likely to yield in
terms of both the theoretical and the applied branches of the field. All in
all: an innovative, thought-provoking book which no one with a keen interest
in translation can afford to ignore.
