Non-equivalence in translation between English and Arabic


Abstract in English

This research studies the notion of non-equivalence in translation between English and Arabic. It displays the main issues translators face when translating, like cultural restraints and linguistic barriers. It also suggests a number of strategies that help in dealing with non-equivalence, including paraphrasing, omission, and cultural substitution.
