Among different techniques literal translation was the most frequent one and addition, couplet and deletion were the least used in the translation of total cultural terms. This study consists of five chapters. The first chapter deals with background of the study, statement of the problem, objectives of the study, research questions, significance of the study, delimitations of the study and operational definition of the key terms. The second chapter consists ofthe review of theoretical literature, review of the empirical literature related to this study, implications of the review for the study and conceptual framework. The third chapter consists of design and methods of the study, populations, sample and sampling strategy, study area/field, data collection tools and techniques, data collection procedures and data analysis and interpretation procedures. The fourth chapter presents the analysis and interpretation of results and summary/discussion of findings. Finally, the fifth chapter includes the conclusion and recommendations of the study followed by references and appendices. | en_US |
