THE SCOPOS THEORY AND ITS IMPORTANCE IN TRANSLATION

Abstract

The aim of this research is to explore the theoretical foundations and
practical applications of the Scopos theory in translation studies. By emphasizing the goaloriented
approach to translation, the article aims to highlight its significance in addressing
cultural, linguistic, and functional challenges in diverse translation contexts. The primary
objective is to provide an in-depth understanding of how the Scopos theory shapes translation
strategies and enhances the quality of translations across disciplines. The research tasks include
analyzing the principles of the Scopos theory, examining its relevance in professional translation
practices, and evaluating its effectiveness in comparison to other translation theories.
Furthermore, the study investigates real-world translation scenarios where the Scopos theory
has been applied, with a focus on achieving equivalence and preserving communicative intent.
