Allusive wordplay in Arabic-to-English translation
This study addresses the translation of allusive wordplay meaning from a descriptive source-text oriented perspective. With a central focus on a special type of wordplay that involves purposeful modification to the frames being used, the study sets out to validate the basic premise that allusion per se is quite thorny in translation, as allusions can be envisaged as culture-bound markers within their own cultures; yet, when blended with wordplay,…
Jordanian Folkloric Songs in Translation
Folkloric song-translation is a research area that diverges acutely from the centre of interest of interlingual-intercultural transfer in general, and Arabic-English translation studies in particular. This paper attempts to shed light into Abdu Mousa's culture-bound songmarren wa ma ma'hin hada(they have passed by without a company), as an instance of the challenges that folkloric songs may pose in translation, and how, when translating between c…
Arabic death discourse in translation
Some events are too distasteful and coarse to be approached without linguistic ‘gymnastics’ or ‘maneuvering’. One of these is undoubtedly death , a timeless taboo in which psychological, religious, and social interdictions coexist. This paper investigates the conceptualization and translation of the euphemistic metaphorical encoding operative in Arabic death discourse, particularly in a selected corpus consisting of 450 obituaries, drawn from thr…
Translating autoantonymy in the Qur’an
This study sets out to examine autoantonymy in translation as an under-researched linguistic phenomenon. Given the dearth of serious work on autoantonymy in English-Arabic translation studies, this paper explores the difficulties associated with translating Arabic autoantonymy into English, based on selected examples drawn from the Qur’an. With reference to a host of authoritative Qur’anic exegeses and three Qur’anic translations, it has been pos…
Unintentional Humour in the Translation of Jordanian Shop Signs
This paper examines unintentional humour, as a non-bona-fide instance of communication, in the translation of shop signs in the Jordanian public commercial environment. It shows that unintentional humour not only permeates a shop sign's translated version, but is also indissolubly linked to its lingua-cultural and social context. Closer scrutiny reveals that unintentional humour, just like intentional humour, essentially emerges from script oppos…
Lost in Translation
Shop signs, in the Jordanian public commercial environment, have invariably been studied from linguistic, sociolinguistic, and pragmatic perspectives, but they have been utterly ignored from a translational point of view . This study, the first of its kind, investigates various problems and inadequacies pertinent to the subject under discussion. Shop signs are selected here from a number of heterogeneous cities, and the translation errors therein…
