This paper will revisit Driller and Kornelius' examination of the semantic predicaments inherent in translation. Furthermore, it will include an evaluative analysis of their findings and suggest potential remedies for circumventing such semantic obstacles in translation. The objective of this term paper is to provide a broad overview of this subject matter, how semantic problems in translation can be avoided and encourage further research in this field. Due to the limited scope of this assignment, it will not delve extensively into specific subfields of semantics. I will provide a comprehensive analysis of the arguments presented by Driller and Kornelius, followed by my critical evaluation. Finally, I will propose potential solutions to mitigate semantic issues in translation.
The problem of semantic difficulties in the process of translating is a matter of great importance in worldwide communication. By conducting a thorough examination of the research carried out by Driller and Kornelius and offering practical solutions, experts in language and translation can guarantee precise and culturally aware translations.
