Translation Studies and Transfer Studies
A plea for widening the scope of Translation Studies
Susanne Göpferich | Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz, Austria
This paper pleads for a widening of the scope of Translation Studies to include any mediated transformation of offers of information performed to fulfil specific functions and meet the needs of specific audiences. Such a widening brings Translation Studies closer to the newly established related field of Transfer Studies (“Transferwissenschaften”). Reasons for this expansion are explained.
Keywords: expanding the translation concept, quality assessment, text transformations, Transfer Studies, translation theory
