In the natural sciences, the task of the researcher is usually seen as the generation and testing of hypotheses. These hypotheses are taken to be possible answers to questions concerning the description, prediction, and explanation of natural phenomena. But there is also another kind of hypothesis,… read more

The so-called unique items hypothesis claims that translations tend to contain fewer “unique items” than comparable non-translated texts. This is proposed as a potential translation universal, or at least a general tendency. A unique item is one that is in some sense specific to the target language… read more
2007 Bridge concepts in translation sociology Constructing a Sociology of Translation, Wolf, Michaela and Alexandra Fukari (eds.), pp. 171–183 | Article
Translation sociology brings back the notion of quality to centre-stage in translation studies, and at the same time adds to the field’s social relevance. A sociological approach allows us to highlight “bridge concepts” which connect textual, cognitive and cultural perspectives, and can thus help… read more

Conceptual analysis has a role to play in translation studies, but it is a means, not an end. An empirical paradigm gives central importance to testable hypotheses. Empirical research on translation profiles should result in a translation typology: one such typology is discussed. Translations have… read more
