Skopos theory, as the best model that serves to the ends of professional translators, is taken as a basis for developing a logical framework of a research model. Within this context, the function of questionnaires in theoretical research is studied in such a way not only as to bridge the gap between practice and theory, but also in terms of their potentiality in yielding a causal research.
