1. Major points of DTS
• “No empirical science can make a
claim for completeness and (relative) autonomy unless it has a proper descriptive branch.” (Toury 1995:1)
• A translation is taken to be “any target-

• Translation is taken “as it is” , “what a
translator actually does?” instead of “it should be”, or “what a translator can do, or should do”.

• DTS should start from the hypothesis

testing, refuting, and especially modifying and amending the very theory…to examine such areas as decision-making, translation norms the third code and universals of translation.
• Translation is the real communicative
events neither more or less than other linguistic events in the world.

• Translation(s) and translating could be
described objectively; a translator is a
