The translation of English euphemistic expressions into Arabic in D.H. Lawrence's Lady Chatterley's Lover and Jane Austen's Emma
This thesis considers English euphemisms and their translation into Arabic from a linguistic and translational perspective into Arabic. It consists of five main chapters. In the first chapter, the researcher discusses the reasons for addressing this topic. The definition, forms, and uses of euphemisms are addressed in detail. The nature of euphemism in Arabic, sometimes referred to in Arabic as talattuf, is addressed. In chapter one the hypotheses of the study are also introduced. The primary hypotheses are: 1. There is a correlative relationship between a euphemistic expression in English and its equivalent in Arabic: an English euphemism is normally best translated into another euphemism in Arabic. 2. When difficulties exist in recognising the scope of meaning (lexical, phrasal, or sentential) of English euphemisms, problems in translating them into Arabic are also found. 3. When English euphemisms are translated literally, the target language text loses its original communicative value. The secondary hypotheses are: 1. When translating a metaphorical English euphemism into Arabic, the Arabic counterpart is typically a metaphorical euphemism as well. 2. When translating a metonymical English euphemism into
