ON DISSYMMETRIES BETWEEN SOURCE TEXT AND TARGET TEXT: NEW PERSPECTIVE

Overview & Synopsis

The topic of the article covers the philosophy of polarity between source and target texts. It is well acknowledged that translation has to attempt to strike a balance between the interests of the original author and those of the translator to construct parallels between the two cultures, the histories that it brings together. Translating refers to a situation that lies midway between the ST and TT. The poles must /meet in the middle at a certain point, which will always be that of the translator. We shall proceed to examine this relation in the purported y = 1/x function, which is an excellent starting point from which to build an understanding of the investigated phenomenon. The evidence of research findings suggests that the relationship between ST and TP in the context of intermediary language is equivalent to the rational function y = 1/x, where y and X correspondingly stand for TT and ST. The concept of a vertical asymptote and a horizontal asymptote states that the translations, even the best ones, would never touch the X-axis, though they would get very close to it.
