GRAMMATICAL AND LEXICAL CHANGES IN TRANSLATION

Abstract

This article examines the grammatical and lexical changes that occur during the translation process. Translation often necessitates shifts at both the word level (lexical changes) and the sentence level (grammatical changes) to ensure meaning is accurately conveyed and the target text reads naturally. Lexical changes may involve choosing non-literal equivalents, while grammatical changes can include alterations in word order, sentence structure, or the use of grammatical categories. The study explores the reasons for these changes, their impact on translation quality, and the strategies employed by translators to manage them effectively.
