Construction Of Translation Science On The View Of Communication Science

Translation science is a complex subject, which requires interdisciplinary study. In essence it is an inseparable mixture of interlingual and intercultural activity allowing information communication. Since the 1980s the theoretical study of translation has made great progress, yet until now it still concentrates on the means and methods of translation itself, focusing on "Faithfulness", "Expressiveness" and "Elegance", while the study of "transmission" has largely been ignored within the arena of translation studies. The approach this thesis will take is to look in depth at the practice of translation from the viewpoint of communication science. Furthermore it will attempt to put translation science into the framework of communication science in order to be able to analyze the problems appearing in the translation process, theoretically explain the phenomena of the translation process and finally draw deductions from "literal translation", "free translation", "extracted translation" and "adapted translation".
