Transfmission of Signs of Adonis' Poetry in Expressive Essence in Persian (According to Umberto Eco's View)

AbstractThe details of the fundamental mechanisms of translation can be analyzed through Semiotics. In his various works, Umberto Eco, one of the semioticians, has studied the symbolic aspects of translation. Umberto Eco's semiotics is based on how the text is combined with the reader's personal and cultural encyclopedia. In Echo's view, text has two levels of expression and content, and in poetry, expression prevails over content. In translation of poetry, the expression essence in the target text tries to be equal to the essence of expression in the source text so that it can affect the audience almost like the source text. The present investigation, using a descriptive-analytical method and a semiotic approach based on Umberto Eco's view, studies the transfer of Adonis's poetic signs at expressive substance level in the Persian translation process .To this purpose, Adonis's three volume book entitled" the past, the place of the present" translated by Amirhossein Allahyari (2019) is examined. At linguistic essence level, words and grammar are studied, and at the level of non-linguistic essence, puns, rhymes and melodies are studied. The result of this research shows that the transfer of the signs of Adonis's poetry in Allahyari translation is more pronounced at the level of non-linguistic essence. In order to convey the signs of Adonis's poetry in translation, after establishing a connection between the various linguistic and non-linguistic essences in the text of the poem, Allahyari negotiates them and uses encyclopedic information to create a text in the target language that affects the audience like Adonis's poetry; In this regard, he has sometimes neglected his allegiance to the essence of language.
