Similarity of Meanings in Qur’an Translations: The Cases of فعل , صنع and عمل Words.
Journal Title: Eskiyeni - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 34
Abstract
Translation of the words with similar meanings is one of the issues to be dealt with extra precision, because the nuances of meaning between this kind of words can lead to huge semantic shifts or loss of important details in translation. Espacially when it comes to the translation of the Holy Quran, a more rigorous study is required in order not to overlook those semantic shifts and significiant detail losses. In this study, using the “Meâl” translations of three similar-meaning words which are frequently mentioned in the Holy Quran, it is tried to put forward the semantic detail losses.
