Study Notes
Classification of Translation Methods
- Intralingual Translation: the transfer of a message by interpreting verbal signs using other signs in the same language, e.g., Intelligent=Smart, Beautiful=Pretty, الريب=الشك.
Interlingual Translation (Translation Proper)
- Applies to the actual process of translation from one language to another.
- Useful in:
- Syntactic analysis of foreign languages to show equivalence.
- Translating technical and scientific texts.
- Translating expressive and subjective texts, such as literary texts.
- Translating informative and vocative texts.
Translation Methods
- Word-for-word: a literal translation of each word.
- Literal: a translation that focuses on the literal meaning of the words.
- Free: a translation that focuses on the overall meaning of the text.
- Semantic: a translation that focuses on the meaning of the words in context.
Exercise Examples
- Translate the following English sentences into Arabic, applying all translation methods:
- A- He likes reading: word-for-word, Literal, Free, Semantic.

- Methods include:
- Word-for-Word Translation
- Literal Translation
- Semantic Translation
TL-Oriented Methods
- Focus on the target language (TL) and its cultural context.
- Methods include:
- Communicative Translation
- Free Translation
Translation Classification
