    INTRODUCING TRANSLATION STUDIES
    Translation Studies – a discipline that studies a process and results of translators’ activity. It
    comprises theory, practice, methods, history and didactics of translation/interpreting.

    Objectives of Translation Studies

    To describe the phenomena of To establish general principles


    translating and translation(s) as they by means of which these
    manifest themselves in the world of phenomena can be explained
    our experience. (J.S. Holmes) and predicted. (J.S. Holmes)

    The object of TS – original texts and their translations, the contrast of which provides
    researchers with objective data for the development of translation theory.
    The subject of TS is the process of translation as a double interpretive and generative
    discourse.

    II. Study in details Holmes’s Map of Translation Studies (see Munday J. Introducing
    Translation Studies. Theories and Applications. London; New York: Routledge, 2008.
    Subchapter 1.4).
    Study in details Viktor Koptilov’s scheme of Translation Studies (see Коптілов В.
    Перекладознавство як окрема галузь філології / Віктор Коптілов // Мовознавство. –
    1971.– № 2. – С. 50 – 57; Коптілов В. Першотвір і переклад : роздуми і спостереження

    перекладу: Навч. посіб./ В.В. Коптілов. – К.: Юніверс, 2003. – 280 с. (с. 6-10)).

    Compare Holmes’s and Koptilov’s approaches.

    III. Decide where you would place the following types of research:
    1. I wish to compare a modern translation of the Bible with an older version into
    the same target language.
    2. I intend to investigate the problems of translating fixed forms of expressions such
    as idiom, aphorism and maxim from Ukrainian into English.
    3. My aim is to carry out a critical survey of the contents of courses leading to
    qualifications in translation and/or interpreting in my country.
