ABSTRACT

This article mainly explores Lady Victoria Welby's translation notion within the frame of her significal theory in the dialogue with or in comparison with other translation theories intending to reveal the significant role her translation notion plays in the cultivation of a translative mind. Firstly, I describe what translation is, mapping the translation studies terrain by discussing different views and key concepts regarding translation. Then the nature of Welby's translation notion and its relation to translative thinking in the process of signification will be addressed with respect to the meaning triad. Thirdly, I conclude that the cultivation of a translative mind inspired by Welby’s translation theory contributes not only to the clarification and purification of language but also to the development of critical thinking as the signifying capacity grows.
