Miesto hermeneutiky v teórii prekladu

The present study examines the applying of hermeneutic method within translation process. The examination of the issue draws on the already established concepts of translational hermeneutics, which consider this method as a part of the initial phase of the translation activity. However, the study presents the approach according to which hermeneutic activity is present throughout whole translation process. The author thus examines deployment of Ricoeur’s hermeneutic concept of interpretation and understanding on the complex translation activity. Finally, limitations of this concept are discussed and implications for further research are indicated.
