Specialized Translation in the Framework of Multilingual and Multimedia Document Management

Abstract

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).
