    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.

    Translation Approaches

    TL-Oriented Methods

    • Focus on the target language (TL) and its cultural context.
    • Methods include:
      • Communicative Translation
      • Free Translation

    Translation Classification

      • Intralingual Translation
        • Involves transferring a message by interpreting verbal signs using other signs in the same language.
        • Translator sticks to the source text (ST) and ignores real usage in the target culture.
