| description | The present paper aims to explore the functional approach to translation, which
focuses on the purpose, function and intended effect of the translated text. The main proponents
of the functionalist approaches Katharina Reiss, Hans Vermeer, Christiane Nord acknowledge
that translation does not imply only linguistic correspondence between the target and source text
and promote the idea according to which it is the communicative function of the text in the target
culture that determines the method of translation. They start from the assumption that the texttype
allows the translator to recognize the function and the purpose of the text as well as the
author’s intention. Thus, s/he will inevitably resort to different techniques and strategies in order
to successfully render the source text meaning into the target language. The examination of the
most important studies related to this approach has provided us the theoretical framework that
will serve as a foundation for our research: the translation of medical/pharmaceutical texts. |
