Research on Qur’an terms has long been interested in its semantic and syntactic sides. Likewise, translation turned necessary when the Holy Quran reached the hands of Muslims and non-Muslim professionals in linguistics and religion. The Holy Quran translations in their turn were at the basis of many researches when minimal terms translations proved distinct. This research paper aims at finding out the origins of the differences that concern both semantics and grammar. When conducting a comparative and analytical study on terms extracted from the Quran, it had been revealed that the exegesis is the main cause of the distinct meanings given by translators to a single term. As far as the syntactic aspect of the term itself is concerned, it is admitted that context as well as the translator’s style are almost responsible

Any translation is subject to mental processing. In a literary text, this processing is very problematic. Words and expressions that vehicle such transfer do not (re)produce the source faithfully. The received image could be perceived and conceived differently because of language suggestiveness. Undoubtedly, Cognitive Process of thinking is helpful in understanding and actualizing thoughts into words and expressions. But how could it be with metaphor? Is it transferrable? Are we able to reproduce and transfer the same image from the source to the target? Metaphor is shaped and mapped within the culture that produces it, but differences in culture become the clue of the problem. The way to conceptualise and perceive is dialogically related to the degree of differences and similarities of the SLT (Source Language Text) and TLT (Target Language Text).

The present paper aims to investigate the role of translation activities as a comprehensive tool for the acquisition of the technical English language, clarifying confusing aspects, enriching specialized vocabulary and improving the knowledge of language and Technical background as well. First, an overview of the latest research into the implementation of translation activities in the ESP class will be provided. Then, the methodological developments in this area will be explored by focusing mainly on the factors to consider while preparing translation activities, the types, purposes and benefits of the suggested activities. Toward the end of the paper, a framework of research methodology for teaching technical vocabulary and technical writing will be presented.

The present study is part of our research in translation didactics and addresses, through a practical example, the contribution of discourse analysis, and, more precisely, the analysis of latent content, to translation. It detects the levels on which are located the elements to be analyzed. Our goal is to design an analysis model for translation. A model will follow the nature of the act of translating and the needs for the development of translation skills.

This study is related to the advertising translation of commercial and road signs. Our analytical and descriptive approach is lead on five photographed samples. We tried to answer the main issue which focuses on linguistic and stylistic errors of translation due to a word for word transfer from a foreign language. These errors have undoubtedly socio-cultural and socio-economic impacts. The functional aim of the translation and the discourse analysis showed that the Arabic language holds its own linguistic and stylistic means to express a particular message in the context of enunciation and in the context of situation. For didactic prospects we intended to take advantage of these findings by proposing pedagogic applications that should take the discourse analysis and the skopos of any translation as main objectives. In a professional view, we pointed out that the linguistic part of the public advertising displays should be considered seriously by entrusting any public translation to conscientious translators.

This research paper highlights the links between memory, representation and creativity in the translation process, and the advantages that could be taken of the advances made in the fields of cognitive sciences, artificial intelligence, cognitive linguistics, cognitive psychology and philosophy, in the academic and professional training of translators. We discuss through this study the relationship between translation teaching and the aforementioned cognitive disciplines, the role of cognitive competence in comprehension, the types of memory and its functions in the translation process, the training of the translator’s memory and assimilation through practice, and the aspects of creativity in translation.

As a result to the establishment of Translation as a new academic independent field of study, the number of relative notions and terms has augmented, and Translation Didactics has been established to look for the suitable means to form translation students. The present study is interested in determining the relationship between translation terms and Translation Didactics, and the role of the former in the latter. This issue led us to investigate the extent of mastery of this terminology in Algerian translation classes.

The adverb is a polymorphic syntactic notion, ready for salient reflections in attested natural languages. This fact of language with fairly diverse uses from the point of view of linguistic combinations generates levels of semantic-linguistic and discursive complexity. For this purpose, the present study is limited to the cases of adverbs of intensity in the contrasting systems of Arabic and French. This study, then, is a reflection on the intensity / intensification connection, which accounts for the degree of gradation induced by the adverbs of intensity.

This study sheds the light on translation strategies used by the French Orientalists, Perron and Seignette, in rendering into French the famous Maliki jurisprudence summary, known as the Mukhtasar of Khalil Al-Jundi. It also aims at exploring their tools, as well as examining how they served the colonizer’s ideology throughout their translation works.
