The relation of Translation Studies to Applied Linguistics is not presently the question unequivocally perceived or determined. In particular, it should be considered if it is reasonable to place Translation Studies within the framework of Applied Linguistics which is done by the authors who refer to F. Grucza's claims. Deliberations on this issue, conducted with reference to various concepts in translatology, make the author acknowledge that Translation Studies is a linguistic discipline, but as a whole, is not embraced within Applied Linguistics. The theory of translation, i.e. theoretical studies of translation, should be placed outside Applied Linguistics, leaving within its scope various areas of Applied Translation Studies, namely: translation criticism, translation didactics, studies of particular translation types, studies of translation in specific languages, and of particular text types, studies of community interpreting, and also – with certain reservations – the history of translation.
