Each community is distinguished by unique characteristics that collectively define its cultural identity. This diversity presents translators with considerable challenges, particularly when it comes to translating cultural references (CRs). An adequate translation requires an in-depth comprehension of the source culture’s nuances to…

Machine translation advances translation quality at morphological, syntactic, and semantic levels. The pragmatic level of machine translation is also evolving, but challenges remain due to cultural and contextual issues on the one hand and machine translation deficiencies on the other. While computational studies have made strides in automating translation tasks, linguistic-oriented research in this area remains sparse. In response to this gap, t…

Translations of Stylistic Variations in the Noble Qur’an into English: Stylistic and Exegetical Perspectives
Stylistic variation is one of the prominent features of Qur’anic discourse, which deals with similar linguistic elements but varies stylistically and semantically. Translation of stylistic variations creates insurmountable challenges during comprehension and rendition into the target language, although they do not receive due attention in translation studies. To bridge this gap, the stylistic variations in seven prominent translations of the Nobl…
