CULTURAL AND LINGUISTIC ISSUES IN TRANSLATION OF FICTION WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO AMIN KAMIL’S SHORT STORY “THE COCK FIGHT”
Journal Title: Asian Journal Social Sciences & Humanities - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Translation is as old as the art of writing or as old as history of education in general. It is occasioned by the social needs of people. Whenever, for instance, two linguistic groups interact as neighbors to each other, translation from and to each other’s languages become inevitable if they must meaningfully communicate with each other in matters of commerce, intermarriage, education, legal issues, etc. Religious books like the Quran, the Bible, the Gita and the Guru Granth have been essentially translated to numerous languages in different parts of the world as a facilitator of missionary activities. The Paper is a discussion of a case study of translating a short story from Kashmiri into English. The discussion revolves around the translation process and its reconstruction focusing on some of the linguistic and cultural issues encountered in the original and how they were resolved in the translation.
