Translating as a purposeful activity: functionalist approaches explained

Type Book

Rate 0.0 /5

"German-language approaches to translation have been revolutionized by the theory of actions (Handlungstheorie) and the related theory of a translation's goal or purpose (Skopostheorie). Both these approaches are functionalist, they seek to liberate translators from servitude to the source text, seeing translation as a communicative act that must be purposeful with respect to the translator's client and readership."--Back cover.
