The scientific study of translation, translatology, is behind linguistics in the study of data. While linguistics has reached out to include all speech acts within its proper study, the data of translatology remain, almost exclusively, professionally authored texts. The proper study of translatology is all translation. Everyday speech should not merely be included; it should be given priority. Translatologists should first study natural translation, which may be defined as the translation done by bilinguals in everyday circumstances and without special training for it. Several studies have been done on bilingualism which have produced relevant data; more research must be done, however, with natural translation as the specific object of the study. (CFM)
