Text 1
Penerjemahan, kendati secara akademis sebagai subdisiplin linguistik
merupakan fenomena yang muncul baru-baru ini saja, sejatinya ia merupakan
tindak komunikasi sosial yang telah dilakukan orang dan berlangsung selama
berabad-abad. Peminatnya meliputi tidak saja para linguis dan sastrawan
tetapi juga para pakar dalam bidang yang semakin menjauh dari linguistik
seperti antropologi, psikologi hingga matematika. Kenyataanya penerjemah
telah memainkan peran krusialnya di sepanjang peradaban umat manusia
mulai dari masa klasik, abad pertengahaan, hingga zaman modern sekarang.
Selain itu, dari sudut kajian teoretis, peredebatan apakah penerjemahan itu
ilmu, teori, seni, keterampilan atau selera masih terus bergulir sebagaimana
direfleksikan oleh beragamnya judul buku tentang penerjemahan. Namun
demikian, perkembangan terahir nampaknya, istilah translation studies lebih
banyak digunakan para teoretisi dan praktisi penerjemahan, suatu istilah
payung, karena mencakup penerjemahan dan penjurubahasaan, yang
diperkenalkan pertamakali oleh James Straton Holmes.
