Cognitive translation and the creation of meaning

الملخص EN

The power of words and the tyranny of thought create a maze of critical alternatives in the creation of meaning.

This is jointly torn off by the translator's own cultural competence and the tyranny of the socio-cultural layers that the text regularly produces.

Cognitive functions in translation are not confined to the linguistic contact with a text, but they go further deep in pithy cognitive functions that embrace the reception of the translation output.

Creation of meaning in a literary text is extended to the translator's apprehension and decision-making.

The translation act comprises three stages that do not seem to occur simultaneously but in an endlessly circular movement.

In a text founded on expressiveness, the cognitive function embraces the creation-creativity aesthetic, emotions and mood.

Decoding is not only a psychological cognitive phenomenon but a social construction as well.

It is a process that stems in reading, traverses the linguistic bridges, and matures in the written composition.

The major question our article tries to answer is: Do Cognitive Functions of Translation embrace the reception of the translation output?
