Abstract

In Translation Studies, situatedness has given rise to a new paradigm with its own definitions, methods and objects. however, the basis for this framework was not laid directly by Situated Cognition as a Cognitive Science approach. Situated Translation and Situated Cognition have a different focus; in fact, they often contradict each other. In this article, I shall make suggestions on how the findings of Translation Studies can be used to further develop research in Cognitive Science, and conversely, I shall also discuss the possible consequences of Situated Cognition for Situated Translation.
