Table of contents

From a historiographical point of view, studies of the type offered by Mary Snell- Hornby are highly illuminating as they both represent and discuss fundamental issues in translation studies, and hence reveal major strategies of theory design. The present study, dealing as it does with an impressive array of topics and reflecting current positions and debates, aims at an original reformulation and restructuring of modern hypotheses with respect to the present situation and possible evolution of the discipline.
