SYNAPS - A Journal of Professional Communication 22(2008) pp.43-51Abstract
Translation studies is a large discipline, and the question may at times arise, whether it really
covers the craft of specialized translation with its many peculiarities. I therefore try in this
study to inventory the professional activity of specialized translation in order to get a clearer
view of what an adequately modified discipline of translation studies will have to account
for. My line of reasoning follows and in part extends the integrative model of specialized
communication I earlier suggested (Schubert 2007: 243–326).
