| Translation is an independent discipline in its own right. In the present age of information explosion it assumes a significant role, with its enormous capacity for dissemination of information and knowledge at both national and international level. In that sense then, translation in general and technical translation in particular, is not only an important tool for transmission of scientific and technical knowledge across geographical and linguistic barriers but also helps in better understanding of our surroundings besides promoting the development of science and technology. |
‘Social Sciences' is a covering term for all those disciplines that deal with human being not as an individual but as a social and cultural being with all other related aspects of study that have social and cultural aspects and implications. Also known as behaviourial sciences, it includes discipline like sociology, anthropology, folklore, psychology, economics, commerce and management, geography, political science, linguistics, law, education, defence studies, archaeology and culture, communication and journalism, social medicine and community health, international relations, population science, education, and all other allied subjects which have relation to social order. In contemporary times, social science research is as relevant to the rich and developed nations as it is to the poor and underdeveloped and developing nations. |
