Cultural Context Challenges in Literary Translation from Persian to Arabic: By focusing on Golestan Sadi and Rozeh Alvard

Cultural context is one of the topics discussed in semantics which has great efficiency in understanding the text and in particular literary texts. Each text derives from individual and collective thought and culture in which some of their vocabularies contain special cultural discourse that translates into fundamental challenges. Discourse and the discursive attitude of the text are considered along with the texture and its constituent elements and in particular the cultural elements. In this research, we are looking to search and analyze the discourse vocabulary in Sadi’s Golestan and its Arabic translation by Mohammed Al- Furati. Therefore, with the descriptive-analytical method, we have considered the vocabulary from the point of view of the context and cultural discourse. In Sadi’s Golestan, there are words that play vital roles in the formation of meaning and semantic identity of the text such as Rand, Darwish, Parsa, the Lords of the World, and Qalandar. Due to the context and cultural discourse of Golestan, Saadi has somehow played the role of the deep meaning of his personal culture.
