EQUIVALENCE AND EQUIVALENT EFFECTS IN TRANSLATION
Keywords:
equivalence,translation, comparison,Abstract
This work is supposed to study and analise different theories of the
equivalence in the process of translation, its effect and review the theory of
equivalence elaborated by some of the most innovative theorists in the past years of
this century. It is concentrated on comparing different models, such as;Vinay and
Darbelnet, Jacobson, Nida, Kollar ,House, Baker etc.These theorists have studied
equivalence in relation to the translation process ,using different approaches ,and
have provided fruitful ideas for further study on this topic.Their theories are
analysed in chronological order and devided into linguistic approach,
pragmatic/semantic functionally oriented approach.There are also discussed some
problems of equivalence, because the target text can never be equivalent to the
source text at all levels ,researchers have distinguished different types of
equivalence so, I will try to elaborate and discuss the differences between them.
