A Lexico - Cognitive Study of the Translation of the Lexemes \Quwwah\ and \Da'F\ in the Holy Qur'An
2021
Overview
The study aims to identify the different strategies and procedures adopted by the translators of the Holy Qur\"an, focusing on the two lexemes: (strength and weakness) - from Arabic to English. To achieve these goals, Venuti\"s Theory (1995) is applied as the first theoretical framework. He presents the strategies of ( Foreignization ) and (Domestication) as an ideology that can be applied in translating religious texts. The study seeks to investigate how the concepts of strength and weakness are portrayed in the context that human minds consciously perceive; this can be done by using the Conceptual Metaphor Theory as the second theoretical framework for each of Lakof and Johnson 1980. The study shows that quwwah isn\"t introduced in its conventional sense, such as physical and authoritarian strength, but comes with the concept of persistence, youth, numerical abundance and divine power. On the other hand, the concept of da\"f is not limited to Physical weakness, but it includes other meanings such as ageing, helplessness, oppression, ignorance, and the seduction of human soul. Finally, there are many other lexemes that are verbally consistent but different in meaning in the Qur\"anic discourse. The study recommends investigating their meanings and their translations as well.
