Skopos Theory||Functional Theories||Translation Stidies

Skopos is the Greek word for ‘aim’ or ‘purpose’ and was introduced into translation theory in the 1970s by Hans J. Vermeer as a technical term for the purpose of a translation and of the action of translating.The major work on skopos theory is “Grundlegung einer allgemeine Translations theorie” in German language (‘Groundwork for a General Theory of Translation’). It is a book that Vermeer co-authored with Katharina Reiss.The theory first appeared in an article published by linguist Hans Josef Vermeer in the German Journal Lebende Sprachen, 1978.
Skopos theory predates Holz-Mänttäri’s theory of translatorial action, it may be considered to be part of that same theory as it deals with a translatorial action which is based on a ST, which has to be negotiated and performed and which has a purpose and a result.
