Domestication and Foreignisation in Translation Studies: A Bibliometric Analysis of WoS Core Journal Articles
Abstract
Translation plays a vital role in globalisation by acting as a bridge of cross-cultural communication. The current study investigated 232 published Web of Science (WoS) core journal articles on domestication and foreignisation concepts in translation studies in the past two decades through bibliometric analysis. Specifically, the evolution of the concepts with major research trends, burst detection, keyword timelines, and citation networks is delineated. A geographical map portraying the global spread of the field and collaborative networks is also provided. The results demonstrate progressive changes in terms of research focus and methodology, underscoring the adaptive trend of translation strategies across cultural contexts. In-depth insights are also provided by way of scholarly dialogue on domestication and foreignization, as well as their pivotal roles in the evolution of translation practices.
