| Abstract | ||
| Abstract Language and culture are extensively interrelated. Language, embedded in a specific cultural frame, reflects the collective experiences of the language community and its social values. Culture, on the other hand, is derived from the collective experiences of the language community and is considered as the interpretive system for our cognitive and conceptual perceptions. Thus, literary translation involves various challenges where words carry far-reaching social and cultural associations in order to enlighten us about how other peoples live, think, and believe. In this paper, our main point is to show how cultural adjustments of a target text to a specific target culture will have an active effect on the appreciation and understanding of these perceptions. To achieve this, the study hypothesizes that successful intercultural communication depends on the intercultural recognition of the cultural values in both languages. This successful cultural recognition of both languages is of great relevance in determining the translator’s wide range of translation strategies. In other words, the translation's choice of each strategy is adopted according to text function and the effect on the TL reader. The paper also discusses the most frequently used translation procedures applied in translating those language-specific and culturally alluded segments from English into Arabic. | ||
