STRATEGIES OF TRANSLATING INTERCULTURAL DIFFERENCES IN THE ARABIC USE OF IRONIC LANGUAGE EXPRESSIONS IN THE QUR’AN OPPOSED TO THEIR ENGLISH TRANSLATION BY ARBERRY(1955)


Abstract

This paper investigates the intercultural differences hindering the flow of translating ironic speech acts of the Qur’an into English by Aberry (1955). The study is trying to investigate the intercultural differences in the Arabic use of Arabic language expressions in the Qur’an opposed to their English translation by Arberry (1955). The study concluded that historical culture, lack of hyponym produced due to semantically complex concepts, poly-semantic words, concepts and expressions and above all emotive meaning play a fundamental role in hindering the flow of meaningful intended translation to the Qur’anic speech acts into English. Study, however, recommends some translation techniques through which such a problem might be solved or at least minimized.
