Towards a general theory of translational action

Más información sobre el libro

The first part of the book was written by Vermeer and explains the theoretical foundations and basic principles of skopos theory as a general theory of translation and interpreting. The second part, by Katharina Reiss, seeks to integrate the text-typological approach as a 'specific theory' that focuses on thsoe cases in which the skopos requires equivalence of functions between the source and target texts.
