Skopos theory
Definitions
The idea that translating and interpreting should primarily take into account the function of both the source and target text.
Examples
“The functional approach⟳ has a great affinity with Skopos theory. The function of a translation is dependent on the knowledge, expectations, values and norms of the target⟳ readers, who are again influenced by the situation they are in and by the culture. These factors determine⟳ whether the function of the source text or passages in the source text can be preserved or have⟳ to be modified or even changed.”
