The Faculty of Languages – University of Kufa held a symposium entitled “Pragmatic Trends in Translation.” It included a lecture delivered by Dr. Hussein D. Mezher and Dr. Musa’ab A. Rahim, in which they addressed the interrelated relationship between pragmatics with its own concept of using language in different social and cultural contexts, and translation, which means transforming intellectual content from one language to another using various different scientific, linguistic and technical tools. The two lecturers touched on various examples of Nahj al-Balagha translations, the translation of Nagib Mahfouz’s novels and other important literary translations. Many analytical models were also presented to clarify the mechanism of pragmatic translation and its importance.
