The aim of this study is to present a methodology of joint translatological–sociological cooperation in data
collection, analysis, and interpretation to study translation strategies and norms. In order to identify norms, research cannot be
restricted to translations: it is imperative to include translators and their practice as well. Thus, key research methods drawn
on in this study are textual analyses and semi-structured interviews. The use of these two methods allows for the merging of the
observable results of translation practice with translators’ social contextualisation and their reflection on practice (doxa).
This method aims to answer the following questions: How do translators translate? Why do they translate the way they do? What do
they really do when translating?
Keywords: methodology, comparative textual analysis, semi-structured interview, habitus, doxa, translation practice
