Do we really know how we translate or what we

translate?...Are we to accept “naked ideas” as the

means of crossing from one language to

another?...Translators know they cross over but do not

know by what sort of bridge. They often re-cross by a

different bridge to check up again. Sometimes they fall

over the parapet into limbo.

(Firth, 1957:197).

equivalence
 The problem of non-equivalence
1. Culture specific concept,
2. The source-language concept which is not lexicalized in the target
language,
3. The source-language word which is semantically complex,
4. Different distinctions in meaning,
5. The target language which lacks a superordinate,
6. The target language which lacks a specific term (hyponym),
7. Differences in physical or interpersonal perspective,
8. Differences in expressive meaning,
9. Differences in form,
10. Differences in frequency and purpose of using specific forms,
11. And the use of loan words in the source text.
