Abstract: (12030 Views)
Componential Analysis of Words is a branch of semantics in which all words of a text are analyzed to their roots and semantics components in order to rearrange them to achieve a semantic whole at the level of the word. Any attempt in this theoretical framework to reconstruct them in target language would result in a precise and cogent translation of the source language. Thus , the present study by adopting a descriptive –analytic and critical research methodology aims at analyzing semantic components of Sūrat al-Baqarah’s verbs whose eleven well –known contemporary translations including Ayati, Arfa’ , Elahi Ghomshei, Searaj, Safarzadeh , Fouladvand, kavianpour, Garmaroudi, Mojtabavi, Meshkini and Makarem shirazi’s translation have been the focus of several challenges. The results of this research showed that the translators have ignored the componential analysis of words at the level of the verb and have just considered the primary and basic meaning of each word. In addition, the translation of Meshkini, Elahi Ghomshei and Mojtabavi is more accurate and reliable than for instance that of Arfa’.
