| description | Achieving equal value or equivalence between the source text (ST) and the target text (TT) is the key aim of every translation attempt. However, since equivalence evades a concrete definition, this can complicate the translation process. This review article attempts to track the concept of equivalence through the various translation theories, focusing mainly on the 1950s onwards. Rather than viewing equivalence as an approach or principle, the study investigates its use as a theoretical method. To best illustrate the complexities of this task, this study focuses on equivalence in Arabic-English translation, given the lack of commonality in the roots and development of these respective languages. |
