Discoursal Function of Phonological Patterns in Poetic Texts
Poetic text, as a literary genre, is distinct from non-literary text because of the special effect it can have on the reader and this special effect in literature-text, as a whole, has been argued to be a function of the special literary forms imposed upon the ordinary language patterns in the literaturetext. Among these special forms, this paper will focus on phonological patterns in poetic texts. Phonological patterns (rhyming, alliteration, as…
On the Discoursal Function of Some Special Textual Strategies in Poetic Texts
The special literary patterns have already been studied under the general category of literary textual strategies where it has been argued how these textual strategies would set the special literary processes in motion in the cognitive system of the receiver leading to the formation of a special literary meaning, i.e. the literary effect (cf. Lotfipour-Saedi 1992a). The present paper will examine two types of literary textual strategies and the w…
Translation Principles vs. Translator Strategies
Having subscribed to a definite viewpoint on the nature of language and language use in interpersonal verbal transactions, one can set out to characterize the principles governing the translation process. But due to the highly volatile nature of the "context of situation" as a determining factor in the materialization of the language function, the translator cannot operate rigidly according to a set of principles in dealing with every text-type. …
Discourse Analysis and the Problem of Translation Equivalence
The translator's task has usually been defined as the establishment of an equivalence between the source language (SL) and the target language (TL) texts, and the translation process has been characterized as a branch of contrastive linguistics. But neither the nature of translation equivalence (TE) has been carefully specified nor a comprehensive framework consistent with the true nature of linguistic I communicative behaviour has been employed …
Analysing Literary Discourse
This paper will attempt to look at the notion of translation equivalence in literary discourse. Literature is usually distinguished from non-literature in terms of the special effect it creates on the reader. The paper will try to characterize this "special effect" in terms of special discoursal and textual strategies employed in literary text. It will then examine ways of rendering such strategies in the translation process drawing implications …
Element-for-Element Replacement? Beware! There Might Be a "No-Entry" Sign
Various definitions have been offered for translation, each assuming a different orientation to the nature of meaning and language but all sharing the notion of replacement of one sort or another. The commonsensically perceived framework of translation operation is also basically founded upon the notion of replacement, mostly leading to the illusion that translation is just a matter of replacing SL elements by TL ones. But due to the uniqueness o…
Lexical Cohesion and Translation Equivalence
According to modem trends in linguistics, a text rather than a sentence is the unit of communication, and communication and negotiation of meanings in human verbal transactions is achieved within the framework of a text. Among the features which contribute to the texture of a text and distinguish it from a non-text, cohesion has been argued to be an important one. Halliday and Hasan (1976) have described different types of cohesion (grammatical, …
