Equivalence in translation

Equivalence in translation

1. It is a transalation process that allows the same meaning as the original text to be expressed, but with a completely different wording.

2. Formal Equivalence

   • Focuses on the message itself, in form and content, it tries to retain the original language forms

3. Dynamic Equivalence

   • Also known as functional equivalence, it tries to communicate the idea expressed in the base text

4. Equivalence by: Jakobson

   • Languages may differ from one another to greater o lesser degree, but that does not mean that a translation can not be possible.

5. Chomskian influences

   • A grammar particular to one language would work systematically for another, which means that surface structures needn‟t be like their underlying deep structures..

6. Textual Equivalence

   • It is defined when any TL text is observed on a particular occasion to be the equivalent of given SL text.

7. Examples

   • ° "Tomar el pelo"/"to pull someone's leg"
     • ° "Llueva o truene"/"come rain or shine"
