| Key words: translation; metaphorization; conceptual blending |
| Abstract Translation has been traditionally treated as a metaphor in so far as it has often been taken for granted that 1. the ‘meaning’ of a word is objective and truth-conditional, and that 2. a ‘text’ is considered as a ‘container’ with ‘objective meaning’. Such metaphorization of translation finds its most obvious form in the concept of ‘equivalence’ and its various derivations, which have roots deep in the philosophy of objective meaning and metaphorical thinking. The article argues that cognitive linguistics can offer an alternative to this idea of objective meaning and thus the idea of translation as text-meaning-transfer. This can help bring Translation Studies out of the metaphorical trap of the concept of equivalence. |
