start learning
1960s and 1970s - to indicate that ST and TT share the same kind of sameness

Jean Paul Viney and Jean Darbelnet (1958)’ Comparative Stylistics of French and English; A Methodology for Translation’
start learning
- A comparative stylistic analysis of different translation techniques and procedures - Direct (literal translation – word for word) - Oblique translation (free translation – cense for sense translation methods)
types of equivalence by Eugene Nida
'Toward a Science of translating', 'The Theory and Translation'
start learning
formal equivalence & dynamic equivalence
formal equivalence
start learning
word-for-word translation (translating the meanings of words and phrases in a more literal way)
dynamic equivalence
start learning
sense-for-sense translation (translating the meanings of phrases or whole sentences) with readability in mind
To achieve the most faithful translation of grammatical units, the translator will translate:
start learning
1- A noun into a noun & a verb into verb 2- Does not change sentence boundaries 3- Does not change paragraphs or the punctuation, etc
a dynamic equivalence requires adaptation of
start learning
1. Grammar 2. Vocabulary 3. Cultural references
NIDA CONCLUSION: the product of translation process (the texting in the TL) must have
start learning
same impact on the different readers it was addressing.
John Catford ‘A linguistic Theory of Translation’,1995
start learning
• Introduction of types and shifts of translation
Catfords 3 criteria of considering translation:
start learning
the extent of translation, the grammatical rank, the levels of language
1. The extent of translation
start learning
full translation vs partial translation
2. The grammatical rank
start learning
at which the translation equivalence is established (rank- bound translation vs unbounded translation)
3. The levels of language involved in translation
start learning
total translation vs restricted translation
In rank bound translation an equivalent is
start learning
sought in the TL, notion of literal translation or word for word translation
In unbounded translation equivalences are
start learning
achieved at sentence, clause, and other levels
formal equivalence
