Abstract
Translation is a mutual process of conveying meaning from one language to another. It is, in fact, one of the most useful exercises in contrastive linguistics. Any translation activity has one or more specific purposes. The main aim of translation is to serve as a cross-cultural bilingual communication means among people. Translation has always played a crucial role in society. It requires abiding by certain regulations adequate knowledge and experience in both (SL) and (TL). Translation is not an easy task, whatsoever; in fact, it is a complicated multi-task practice that involves the use of various skills. Translation is not just the replacement of a source text (ST) by a target text (TT). It is essentially a communicative act. It involves the same parameters that characterize the act of communication between any two individuals. Communicative translation to, P. Newmark, is an attempt to render the exact contextual meaning of the original in such a way that both content and language are readily acceptable and comprehensible to the reader.
Keywords: Translation & Linguistic Theory, Contextual meaning, Semantic/Communicative Translation, Cross-Cultural Bilingual Communication.
