With drastic shift of traditional concept of Text-Linguistics, the ecological functionalist approach designed by Robert T. Alain de Beaugrande (1997) is taking up more significant role in Text-Science as well as in Translation- Studies. In this paper we outline an inter-disciplinary framework of a Functionalist Program for Translation Studies, on the basis of Text-Science, Constructivist epistemology and Astronomy of Johannes Kepler (the Laws of planetary motion). In this model, we deal with the material and data fields of Text in the sense of de Beaugrande, looking into its logical demand for modelling for Translatory Acts (Translatorisches Handeln).
This descriptive apparatus should include, for example, the perspectives of Skopos-theory (H. Vermeer/K. Reiss) and the Prototypology (M. Snell-Hornby) applied to translatory act-theory (J. Holz-Mänttäri). These syncretisms in the research of Translation-Science, which are becoming increasingly obvious in the era of Interdisciplinarity, are to be systematically described and explained by the equally syncretic discipline of a meta-theory which reformulates the relevant contributions from related disciplines and connects them into a Functionalist Program for Translation Studies.
