Abstract

Based on the assumption that Translation Studies, as an emerging discipline, is part of a general intellectual movement which is not confined to the humanities, this paper outlines the features which characterise this trans-disciplinary intellectual debate, using examples from linguistics. It is stressed that, rather than setting itself in opposition to other disciplines, Translation Studies needs to acknowledge and embrace shared concerns, issues and directions.
