Special number

«Divergence in translation between Asian languages and French»



Context

One single and same idea can be verbalized in various ways depending
on the languages employed; texts in different languages which are the
result of translation reveal divergences at all linguistic
levels. Such divergences are due to what? The languages
origin is evidently not the only reason, every language possessing its
own lexicon, syntax and pragmatics. Moreover, a given text, that is
generated (and interpreted as well) in a communicative situation with
our cognitive luggage and socio-cultural background, constitutes a
body which is complex and whose components are connected synergically
and this too, in a way that is appropriate for each language.



In this context, the aim of this number of the BULAG is to shed light
on questions such as: «what is the nature of the divergence observed
in translated texts?, «what are the sources of this
divergence?, and «what are the processes which enable
eliminating diversity between languages in order to obtain semantic
equivalence?
