Function Plus Loyalty:On Nord’s Functionalist Approach to Translation

Abstract: Nord’s version of the functionalist approach stands on two pillars: function plus loyalty. Function refers to the factors that make a target text work in the intended way in the target situation. Loyalty refers to the interpersonal relationship between the translator, the source-text sender, the target-text addressees and the initiator. Loyalty limits the range of justifiable target-text functions for one particular source text and raises the need for a negotiation of the translation assignment between translators and their clients. The present article introduces this seemingly contradictory theory and traces its source, then discusses its significance in translation teaching and research as well as its limitations.

Key words: functionalist approach; function; loyalty
