| Abstract | ||||
| This study explores syntactic translation strategies, specifically phrase structure change and clause structure change, as outlined in Chesterman’s (2016) framework. The research applies these strategies to the translation of three selected stories from Ahmed Bahjat’s Animals in the Holy Qur'an: Relating Their Own Stories, focusing particularly on the soliloquies delivered by animal characters. By examining how structural modifications at the phrase level are employed to preserve meaning, style, and rhetorical effect in the English translations, the study seeks to illuminate the linguistic and stylistic challenges of translating religious and literary texts. The findings aim to contribute to a deeper understanding of syntactic adaptation in translation, particularly within the context of Arabic-English translation of sacred narratives. | ||||
