Translation of Quranic verses on the light of new linguistic approaches

Abstract EN

This study aims at comparing and analyzing some selected Quranic translations of some verses, which have revealed total or partial inaccuracies in their translation at the semantic and pragmatic levels.

these latter are two of the most common approaches that attempt to unveiling the implicit meaning.

this study is mainly descriptive and comparative one; it is concerned with evaluating the strategies used by six Quran translators in their translations of the Glorious Quran, such as literal translation, and hence highlighting some of those inaccuracies.

it begins with brief semantics and pragmatics discussions and their close relationship to meaning at the word level, as well as, how meaning is conveyed in different ways in the holly Quran.

the study ends with an investigation of some particular Quranic verses, taken as examples.
