Die arabische Literatur und ihre Übersetzung

Abstract

In comparison to technical language translation, literary translation is dominated by the syntagmatic, connotative means of expression, which are often distributed very differently in the source and target language context and give the translator a "creative redesign of an  artistic statement" on the content and on the expression level of a text require. The linguistic form in literary texts not only has the  function of conveying factual connections, but also an aesthetic and associative function; she is the bearer of the artistic creative will. The  questions of this research are: In order to succeed in this artistic correspondence, does it depend on the translator's literary empathy? Or  his tracking skills? or aimed at rendering the literary qualities of a text? As a global hypothesis on these questions, retranslation is the  ideal answer.
