is edited by GIDEON TOURY and JOSÉ LAMBERT and published by John Benjamins (Amsterdam).
Target promotes the scholarly study of translational phenomena from a
thoroughly interdisciplinary and international point of view. Rather than
reducing research on translation to the practical questions asked by
translators, their committers or their audience, the aim is to examine the
role of translation in communication in general, with emphasis on cultural
situations and theoretical, methodological and didactic matters. Attention is
given to the relationship between translation and the societal organisation
of communication.
Target provides a forum for innovative approaches to translation. It
publishes original studies of theoretical, methodological and
descriptive-explanatory nature into translation problems and corpora,
reflecting various socio-cultural approaches. The extensive review section
discusses the most important publications in the field in order to reflect
the evolution of the discipline.
