b. Newmark (1988)
c. Nida (1965)
d. Catford (1978)
3. “Translation is transferring the meaning of the source language into the
receptor language. This is done by going from the form of the first language
to the form of a second language by way of semantic structure. It is meaning
which is being transferred and must be held constant.” The translation
