Linguistic diversity in Kitaab al-hayaat and Kitaab ash-sharif

Abstract

The aim of this essay is to consider various styles of translation into Arabic. To do so, I put the main emphasis on three aspects, which will be discussed in more detail in a brief introduction to terminology. These are the lexicon, morphology, and syntax. I also discussed socio-linguistics issues in Bible translation. I have always been fascinated by the art of translation. Translations always differ from one translator to the other cine to their different cultural background, because of different interpretations. Unfortunately I could not find anything about the personal background of the translators of my two sources, who worked anonymity. Nevertheless I could find the aims of both books, and therefore I could ubderstand why the translations differ.
