The present paper explores the contribution of the Slovak scholar Anton Popovic (1933–1984) to translation studies from the end of the 1960s until the beginning of the 1980s. It mentions the theoretical and methodological underpinnings of Popovic’s work (particularly Jirí Levý and Frantiek Miko), briefly analyzes Popovic’s most important publications within the field of translation studies, and discusses criticisms as well as inspirations of his conception of translation. The paper concludes with an evaluation of Popovic’s role in developing the field of Czechoslovak and international translation studies, most importantly of descriptive translation studies and the manipulation school.
