Title: Translation: The construct of sense and the make of meaning
Abstract: In Seleskovitch's interpretive theory of translation, the construct of sense is the core of the triangular process of translation. Taking this as a starting point, the present paper argues that the construct of sense is only part of the truth of the reality in translation. The translator in a translation not only constructs sense at the stimulus of the source text, but also makes meaning for the readers in the target language, using the target text as a stimulus. Thus the process of translation is divided into two steps: the construct of sense and the make of meaning.
