    Translating conceptual qur�anic metaphor: A cogno-translational approach
    (Richtmann Publishing Ltd, 2021) Al-Sowaidi, B; Mohammed, T; Banda, F
    This study will investigate metaphor translation as a natural phenomenon. It will analyze some of the problems involving the translation of metaphorical expressions in two Qur�anic translations, namely, Yusuf Ali's The Holy Qur�an: Text, Translation and Commentary and Laleh Mehree Bakhtiar's The Sublime Qur�an. The analysis in this study employs both quantitative and qualitative methods, as well as a cognitive framework of metaphor, which helps conciliate the cultural specificity of metaphors and their transference into linguistically and culturally unrelated languages. The present analysis is based on Mandelblit�s Cognitive Translation Hypothesizes (CTH) (Mandelblit (1995), Maalej�s strategies of translating metaphor (Maalej, 2002, 2008) and K�vecses�s concept of Cultural Variation (K�vecses, 2002,2006).
