FORMAL AND SEMANTIC EQUIVALENCE IN LITERARY TRANSLATION: INTERPRETATION, TRANSFORMATION, AND LINGUOPOETIC CORRESPONDENCE. (2026). JOURNAL OF ANALYTICAL SYNERGY AND SCIENTIFIC HORIZON, 2(5), 4-12. https://universalpublishings.com/index.php/jassh/article/view/21196

Abstract

This  article  examines  the  relationship  between  formal  and  semantic  equivalence  in  literary  translation  through  interpretative,  linguistic,  semiotic,  and  linguopoetic  approaches. Particular attention is paid to the ways in which translators reconstruct lexical  meaning,  syntactic  structures,  imagery,  rhythm,  emotional  intensity,  and  authorial  intention in the target language.
