The translation of collocation into Arabic problems and solutions
This research claims to differ from previous researches undertaken on collocations in that it considers collocations from the point of view of translation. It tackles analytically the problems of translating English collocations into Arabic, and succinctly traces the possible solutions embodied in the translational strategies. It is universally admitted by linguists and translation theoreticians that the domain of translation is very thorny. Therefore, knowing which lexical items go together, i.e. intercollocate, is an important part of understanding the text and translating it appropriately. The strategies that this research aspires to highlight include: substitutability, expansion, contraction, transposability, predictability, and cohesion. However, considerable discussion has been devoted to each strategy separately, illuminating the different possibilities with which each strategy may be manipulated. Examples have been systematically and extensively chosen covering two significant areas: first, those extracted from English-Arabic bilingual dictionaries; and second, those chosen from Modem Standard Arabic and, in particular, the Arab Press. This presents the miscellaneous problems of rendering collocations,
