The Semiosphere as a Generator of Intra-and Intercultural Translations

The paper discusses the main provisions of Yu. Lotman's semiosphere concept and the potential of semiotics as a tool for translation studies. Besides, it analyzes the semiosphere as a generator of intra-and intercultural translations. The authors of the paper concluded that translation is not just a language-oriented process, but a transformation of the original (verbal or nonverbal) message by symbolic means of the receiving semiosphere or its component; translation is an act of communication that can occur in the middle of "its" semiotic space and on the border of two contacting cultures, and intra-and intercultural translations are interdependent phenomena. © 2023, Playscript.
