Summary

Chapter 12 traces the role of linguistics within translation studies back to Roman Jakobson’s ‘On Linguistic Aspects of Translation’ of 1959. To illustrate how linguistic theories and concepts have developed and contributed to translation studies, it presents a map drawn up on the basis of a bibliometric survey, focusing on three major stages – pure linguistics, discourse analysis and multimodality. In light of the way in which the relationship has developed between translation studies and aspects of linguistics that have been applied to translation research, in particular multimodal discourse analysis, the chapter suggests how the relationship might continue to develop.
