Translation of three different texts types from English to Bengali

Abstract

A translator attempting translations from one language to another is confronted with many linguistic and cultural problems, which he or she needs to tackle effectively. Both linguistic and cultural factors can cause problems in translating a text. This dissertation tries to indicate several linguistic factors involved in translating from English to Bangla texts. Three different texts types, e.g. literary, religious and journalistic are translated to depict such linguistic factors in this work.
