Translation: A Pragmatic Issue

Authors : Belmekki Amine .

Abstract

There has been an upsurge attention of translation in its theoretical, historical, didactic and professional dimensions. Whatever translation is, it seems to involve a number of levels of analysis such as semiotic, linguistic, textual, lexical, social, sociological, cultural and psychological aspects. Ail of which consideration should be driven to. One of the most crucial questions worth raising whether explicitly or implicitly is whether there is an equal translation at linguistic, semantic or psychological levels, expressed from an 'original' text through a different text. Hence, the present paper attempts at reflecting on translation as a pragmatic issue endeavoring to explain translation procedure, process and product from the point of view of what is {potentially) done by the original author in or by the text.
