Language,Text and Translation—On the Linguistic-oriented Translation and the Establishment of Independent Translatology

Translation studies have long been considered a mere offshoot of the linguistics, which led the pursuance of equivalence in translation. Such kind of equivalence is based on the linguistic dichotomy of classical category. The linguistic approach to the study of translation has been to isolate phenomena and study the depth of the words. This approach seems to be an object of strictly scientific investigation. As the time goes on, translation studies should be viewed as an independent, interdisciplinary and cross cultural discipline.
