Expanding the scope of corpus-based translation studies
Post errorem
Six cases or case types are briefly presented, illustrating a number of loose ends in translation ethics. These cases are related to reactions by different agents or voices to a clear error, and the ethical implications of these reactions. Case 1 is invented; it raises questions of accountability. Case 2 concerns reactions to errors in the source text, and official guidelines in this respect. Case 3 problematizes a literary translator’s refusal t…
The Name and Nature of Translator Studies
A number of recent research tendencies in Translation Studies focus explicitly on the translator in some way, rather than on translations as texts. These trends might be grouped under the term “Translator Studies”. The article argues that this new focus is inadequately represented in Holmes’ classic map. Evidence of the recent trends is found especially in translation sociology, but also in translation history and in research into the translator’…
Progress in translation studies
University of Helsinki, has served as a member of the Executive Board of EST and has done important research on a wide range of topics in TS.The topics that he has dealt with include contrastive analysis of definiteness in English and Finnish, research methodology in TS, TS as an academic discipline, descriptive, explanatory and causal theories in TS, translator training, the use of theory in the practice of translation, translation strategies, T…
O Nome E a Natureza Dos Estudos Do Tradutor
Uma tendência recente das pesquisas sobre Estudos da Tradução é focar explicitamente no tradutor, de alguma maneira, em detrimento às traduções de textos. Esta tendência pode ser denominada pelo termo "Estudos do Tradutor". Este artigo visa atestar que este novo enfoque é representado inadequadamente no mapa clássico proposto por Holmes. Evidências sobre esta tendência são observadas principalmente na sociologia da tradução, bem como na história …
The View from Memetics
This essay proposes a memetic view of translation, as an alternative and perhaps more fruitful way of conceptualizing the issues involved. After a brief introduction to memetics as a theory of cultural transfer, we outline its relation to genetics and then consider its relevance for Translation Studies. Particular attention is given to a recent article by Maria Tymoczko which challenges some of the traditional assumptions of Translation Studies. …
On the idea of a theory
This article is based on a lecture that has been given to several groups of doctoral students at various times and in various places. It outlines five notions of what has been taken to constitute a “theory”: myth, metaphor, model, hypothesis and structured research programme. The most fundamental of these is the hypothesis. These different ideas of what a theory can be are illustrated with examples from Translation Studies. Any theory aims at des…

Semiotic Modalities in Translation Causality
A common feature of much modern translation research is the notion of causality. This is true not only of empirical descriptive research and applied studies, but also of hermeneutic studies, since concepts influence action. Different approaches focus on different kinds and levels of cause and effect. Some focus on the broad socio-cultural context, some on the situational level (translation event), some on the cognitive level (translation act) and…
Translation in Context
Translation in Context is a collection of contributions from the 1998 Congress arranged by EST, the European Society for Translation Studies, in Granada, Spain. It illustrates some of the latest research interests and achievements in Translation Studies at the turn of the millennium. The contributions show how the context of Translation Studies has expanded to cover new documentation techniques, cultural and psychological factors, the latest comp…
Contrastive Functional Analysis
Why is a raven like a writing-desk? The concept of similarity lies at the heart of this new book on contrastive analysis. Similarity judgements depend partly on properties of the objects being compared, and partly on what the person judging considers to be relevant to the assessment; similarity thus has both objective and subjective aspects. The author shows how contrastive analysis and translation theory make use of the concept in different ways…
Description, Explanation, Prediction
Norms When norms entered Translation Studies, they offered solutions to two kinds of theoretical problems. First, they offered a way of escape from the tradition of prescriptive studies: much of the older thinking was prescriptive in tone and intent, with translators proposing general principles about what translations should be like, or appealing to such principles in justifying why they had translated the way they had. The concept of norms allo…
Memes of Translation
Memes of Translation is a search for coherence in translation theory based on the notion of Memes: ideas that spread, develop and replicate, like genes. The author explores a wide range of ideas on translation, mapping the “meme pool” of translation theory with chapters on translation history, norms, strategies, assessment, ethics, and translator training. The aim of the book is to search for a perspective from which the immense variety of ideas …
The successful translator
Using Karl Popper's idea about how theories change over time as the point of departure, the author discusses the development of translation theories and relates them to the development in individual translators. This view is pursued through a brief presentation of translation theory as it started out with a focus on individual words. Subsequently theory concentrates on to literal translations (of religious texts), then on rhetorically founded rew…
