Pragmatic Failure In Translating Arabic Religious Politeness Formulas Into English



Authors : Dali Youcef Lynda .

Abstract

The current research focuses on the pragmatic failure of translating into English some Arabic religious politeness formulas. The formulas, which have been selected from everyday communication in different speech events, were translated by 10 M.A. students in the translation department at Oran University. The study has shown that inadequate pragma-religious competence often leads to the alteration of the source message. It has revealed that while a few Arabic religious formulas may be translated into corresponding English religious formulas, many Arabic formulas fail pragmatically to give comparable religious meaning in English.
