ABSTRACT

This paper has two main purposes: first, to review papers related to translation studies produced after the establishment of Korean Association of Translation Studies in 1999; second, to catch their trends and perspective afterwards. As a frame of division and analysis I use the scheme of translation studies suggested by Holmes. Having reviewed 113 papers in total, I found that the current research of translation studies is heavily theory-oriented(76 vs. 37). It is desirable for translation studies to overcome such a bias and keep the balance between theory and practice. It is required to unify technical terms in a natural way, not artificially. Furthermore, a kind of industry-university concept is urgently needed also in translation education in order to increase the quality of translated production of beginners.
