Toury (1995; 2012) distinguishes between cognitive translation acts on the one hand, and sociological translation events on the other; a translation act is embedded in a translation event, and both acts and events are seen as processes.

The so-called unique items hypothesis claims that translations tend to contain fewer “unique items” than comparable non-translated texts. This is proposed as a potential translation universal, or at least a general tendency. A unique item is one that is in some sense specific to the target language… read more
2007 Bridge concepts in translation sociology Constructing a Sociology of Translation, Wolf, Michaela and Alexandra Fukari (eds.), pp. 171–183 | Article
Translation sociology brings back the notion of quality to centre-stage in translation studies, and at the same time adds to the field’s social relevance. A sociological approach allows us to highlight “bridge concepts” which connect textual, cognitive and cultural perspectives, and can thus help… read more

Conceptual analysis has a role to play in translation studies, but it is a means, not an end. An empirical paradigm gives central importance to testable hypotheses. Empirical research on translation profiles should result in a translation typology: one such typology is discussed. Translations have… read more
