Item HISTORY AND TRANSLATION: A STUDY ON THE HISTORY OF TECHNICAL TRANSLATION IN TURKEY(2012-07-25) ATAY, Nuh Naci; AKSOY, N. BerrinIn the globalized world, with the advancement of technology and increasing demand for technical communication, technical translation gained a significant importance. Today, in the world, technical translation comprises almost 90 % percent of the world’s total translation and this situation necessitates attention to be given to the context of technical translation from a multi-dimensional viewpoint. Within this context, the relation between History and Translation come to the fore in terms of recording of the past events and characters in chronological and geographical order in terms of making a study on the workings of technical translation. On the other hand technical translation has been of secondary importance in a Translation Studies corpus. Thanks to academic studies and surveys, and the growing demand for technical translation and the technical writing, technical translation with all its historical and linguistic aspects has began to be taken up by and large. Framed by such a background, this thesis aims to make a study on the history and development of technical translation in Turkey. It begins from the Ottomans and focuses on the relation between History and Translation for a theoretical background and moves from there to make a survey of how technical translation developed and took place in Turkey dating back to Seljuks and the Ottomans, and all the way into the Turkish Republic.
