Conflict and translation

Table of contents

Much of the academic discourse on translation and interpreting, has been articulated more or less explicitly in terms of conflict. Whilst some authors have focused on the tensions that are inherent to the process of translation (source text versus target text, adequacy versus acceptability, literal translation versus free translation, semantic translation versus communicative translation, and formal correspondence versus dynamic equivalence, to name but a few of the dichotomies and constructed oppositions that underpin discussions of translation and classification of approaches and strategies), others have represented translation as an aggressive act (see Translation strategies and tactics).
