Table of contents
This is the long-awaited update and development of Toury's earlier book In Search of a Theory of Translation (1980). The search is still on, but the discipline has come a good bit further during the last 15 years. This new book offers a fairly comprehensive survey of the descriptive branch of Translation Studies, with a strong and welcome focus on conceptual clarity and on methodology. As the title suggests, Toury also looks ahead to where research might move next.
