Communication studies and translation studies

A special relationship

| Hellenic American University
| University of Duisburg-Essen

The authors of this chapter, who are associated with the disciplines translation studies and communication studies respectively, have entered into a constructive dialogue about whether their two fields can be said to be related, where common research interests are located and how the two fields might benefit from close cooperation. The authors list a number of contact points between their disciplines, and they suggest common research paths that might be fruitfully embarked on in the future.

Keywords: communication theory, context, cultural filter, intercultural communication, overt/covert translation
