Abstract: (858 Views)
The Quran is a heavenly book revealed in the Arabic language, therefore providing an elegant translation of it is the only way to access its content for non-Arabic speakers. Since a complete translation of the Quran is not possible regarding its peak eloquence and rhetoric, analyzing and scrutinizing Quranic translations is necessary to identify their strengths and weaknesses. The present study aims to analyze the contemporary linguistic translations of the Quran by Fooladvand and Khorramshahi, examining the methods and styles in these translations, and conducting a comparative analysis of the literary and rhetorical elements and their stylistic features based on the interpretive model of Kashshāf in the best possible way among these translations. Accordingly, the mentioned translations are described, analyzed, and examined in terms of semantics and linguistic aspects, indicating that the translators have not followed a specific and consistent style in translating the literary and rhetorical aspects of the Quranic verses. In most cases, they have failed to depict a clear image of the meaning for the target language reader through literal and under-literal translation of the verses, only managing to translate Quranic verses based on the interpretive model of Kashshāf in some instances.
