包邮目的性行为-------析功能翻译理论

1. Historical Overview The following pages describe the development of modern functionalism in translation studies. Of course, since functionalism didnt suddenly appear overnight, a brief description of early functionalist views of translation is needed in order to sketch the situation from which the more recent theories and methodologies emerged. We will then outline the landmarks of what is now often referred to as the ‘German School’of functionalist translation theory: Katharina Reiss and functionalist translation criticism, Hans J. Vermeers Skopostheorie and its extensions, Justa Holz-Manttaris theory of translational action, and a number of works oriented toward the use of functionalist methodology in translator training. The basic concepts of translational action and Skopostheorie will be analyzed in detail later on; this chapter is merely designed to give a chronologica1 overview of authors and works.
