Investigating Translation Methods through the Eyes of Jean Delisle

Journal Title: In Translation / في الترجمة - Year 2022, Vol 9, Issue 1

Abstract

Translation plays a vital role in creating a prosperous milieu for cultural and linguistic interchange, overcoming linguistic and civilizational barriers that hinder intercultural communication. To be accomplished as a task facilitating inter-communication, translation needs some methods to be examined and adopted. This paper aims at unveiling the different methods of translation Delisle has come up to as a result of his research to facilitate the task of translation. The study investigates and analyzes the importance of translation methods and the best way to explain and use them correctly to translation users through Delisle’s eyes. Results revealed that the methods Delisle illustrated are not unique; they deserve to be a model as they share some common features with other methods, which made them, somehow, global. Thus, Delisle’s methods of translation have been tested for their validity and reliability in some examples in this paper.
