The Dynamics of Translation between Human Interaction and the Creativity of Interpretation in Arabic Texts

Abstract

This study seeks to elucidate the effectiveness of interpretation in translation practice by examining the interpretive process inherent in the act of translation and identifying its manifestations and forms in Arabic texts, with a view to developing procedural mechanisms for activating interpretation in the translation of Arabic texts. The study bases its approach on defining the concepts and terminology governing the research, proceeding from the premise that terminology constitutes a fundamental gateway to the construction of scientific knowledge and the determination of its directions, since conceptual inquiry cannot be properly undertaken without precisely identifying the semantic content of the terms employed.

The study also examines how the translator interacts with Arabic texts at their various levels and what this requires in terms of comprehending their implicit meanings, connotations, and contexts. This makes interpretation a practice that goes beyond the initial understanding of a text towards reconstructing its meaning in the target language. From this perspective, the study concludes that interpretation is not an incidental procedure in the translation process, but rather a structural component of it, particularly in literary translation, where understanding intersects with creativity and the reshaping of meaning. This makes interpretation inseparable from literary translation and one of the foundations of its effectiveness and quality.
