| dc.description.abstract | Most of the neologisms which are coined by the military figures and politicians are strange to the Arabic language linguistically and culturally. Niska (1998, p. 89) states that "neologisms are tokens of a creative process "a novel relational product growing out of the uniqueness of the individual on the one hand, and the materials, events, people, or circumstances of his life on the other". Translating neologisms accurately and finding the right equivalents is a problematic issue . This study endeavors to investigate the translation problems of military and political neologisms and the strategies used to translate these neologisms. In order to answer the research questions and achieve the objectives of the study the methodology which is used in this study is qualitative method. As a theoretical frame work for the study Peter Newmark's dual theory of semantic and communicative methods of translation in addition to his translation procedures model for the translation of different types of neologisms will be utilized. The results show that military and political neologisms are charged with high emotive meanings. Translators should have a good command of both source and target languages and should be culturally and linguistically competent. It also shows that the most frequently used strategies were functional equivalent, word for word, modulation and paraphrasing and compensation. The least frequently used strategies were couplets, componential analysis, omissions, additions, reduction, expansion and transference. | en_US |
