A study of translatological dictionaries from the perspective of text linguistics

Abstract

This study examines translatological dictionaries from the perspective of text linguistics with a discussion of the close relationship between translatological dictionary studies and text linguistics. This is done to promote translatological dictionary studies and further the development of translation studies. The study demonstrates the textual and extra-textual constraints on the research and compilation of translatological dictionaries by discussing how seven criteria of textuality can be integrated into translatological dictionary studies. The study discusses the following three topics: (1) an understanding of the translatological dictionary and its research methodologies; (2) theoretical basis and significance of the translatological dictionary as text; and (3) the integration of the seven criteria of textuality into translatological dictionary studies.
