Although many monographs on translation contain a wealth of critical material of fundamental significance – in addition to Kornei Chukovskii’s works, Walter Widmer’s provocative book Fug und Unfug des Übersetzens (1959), for example – they naturally do not give an overall picture of the values of the translations discussed, as is also the case in the present book. Alongside the descriptive theory of literature, which is concerned with the description and historical positioning of translations, a significant part of translation theory, as indeed of the theory of all art forms, is normative, whether or not the fact is explicitly admitted.
An outspoken champion of a broadly conceived translation theory was Edmond Cary: The elaboration of a general theory of translation involves the most complete possible census of the various types of translation practiced in our time. This census must be undertaken without any exclusive a priori and must rest on the study of the evolution undergone by various types of translation, no longer taken in isolation and set up as an absolute, but oriented with respect to other types and in connection with them.
A formal stratification of the language system was the basis on which John Catford built his attempt to differentiate the respective translation procedures in 1965. He distinguishes restricted translation and total translation. g. phonological translation (imitation of foreign pronunciation), graphological translation (imitation of foreign graphics), or lexical and grammatical translation. Total translation is not restricted to linear transfer on a single grammatical level; very often, grammatical means of the source language may correspond to lexical means of the target language, for example, so that functional shifts occur between one language and another.
