German Functionalist Theories;Contents;1. Introduction ;1.2 Main Viewpoints of this School;1.3 Representatives and their Theories;;Holz-Manttari and her Action Theory The theoretical basis of functional approaches to translation is action theory put forward by von Wright and Rehbein and communication theory. This reflects clearly in Holz-Manttaris theory and methodology of translational action in which she even avoids using the term translation in the strict sense. She defines translation as a complex action designed to achieve a particular purpose. The purpose of translational action is to transfer message across culture and language barriers by means of message transmitters produced by experts. She focuses on the actional aspects of the translation process, the role of the participants and the situational conditions such as time, place and medium in which translation activities take place. She also pays special attention to the status of the translator.;;Nord and Functionality plus Loyalty Nord supports functionalist approaches to translation both in translator training and practice and she attempts to refine Vermeers model by putting forward her own functional model: functionality plus loyalty. Functional approaches take into consideration the function or functions of texts and translation in the real situation of professional translation, and shift away from the then predominantly equivalence-based linguistic- oriented translation theories.;1.4 Value and Limitation This approach really have great practical value for professional translators, especially for those who work on non-literary texts. Whether they are applicable to literary translation remains to be testified in the future.;2.Translation Criticism;2.2 Significance;2.3Traditional Approaches to Translation Criticism;Traditional Approaches to Translation Criticism in China;2.4 Conclusion;3. text types and their functions; referential function; ; ;Phatic function;There is proverb which say
