Grice's Maxims ; Translation Assessment ; Literary Translation ; Pragmatics

Translation assessment is one of the main concerns in translation studies, aiming to assess how successfully meaning and message are transferred in the target language text. Translation quality assessment (TQA) has often been associated with the correctness of the grammatical structure and the adequacy of the lexical item, but high-quality translation goes beyond these mechanics to ensure effective communication in the target language. The present study investigates, discusses, and develops a translation quality assessment model that takes Grice’s maxims as a framework for analyzing and assessing the quality of English-to-Arabic literary translations. The adherence to Grice’s maxims offers insights into how translators navigate linguistic and cultural gaps between the two languages. The problem lies in redefining Grice’s maxims to make them more suitable and applicable to an objective assessment of the translation of English literary texts into Arabic. Grice’s criteria are set to investigate how information is translated truthfully, conveying the same amount of information as the original text, being relevant to the subject matter, and using clear, concise, and unambiguous language. The study hypothesizes that Grice’s redefined maxims (truthfulness, information amount, relevance, and clarity) can offer a valuable tool for assessing the quality of literary translations from English into Arabic. Different maxims might have varying importance depending on the specific translation. Balancing clear communication in the TT with preserving the style and cultural references of the source text (ST) is crucial. Therefore, Translators navigate the complexity of maxims and literary devices (like metaphors) to achieve both clear communication and preserve the intended effect. The study applies Grice’s redefined maxims to two Arabic translations of Lord of the Flies (1954) to gain insights into the communicative maxims underlying character-to-character, narrator-to-translator, and translator-to-reader interactions in literary translation. The two Arabic translations, Al-Jammal’s (2000) and Nassar’s (2014) novels are taken to be compared in terms of applying and adhering to Grice’s four maxims. By the analysis of the two Arabic-translated works through the lens of the conversational maxims, the study also aims to assess how translators tackle the challenges of conveying the intended meaning, maintaining natural language flow, achieving accuracy, and adapting cultural references for the Arabic reader. The present study concludes that Grice’s redefined maxims can be used as a model for assessing literary translations, especially for dialogue, as they go beyond literal accuracy to analyze truthfulness, information amount, and relevance, clear and concise language. The application of Grice’s maxims highlights how different translation strategies create distinct versions of the same novel. While Grice’s maxims are helpful, translators sometimes need to be flexible to bridge cultural gaps, maintain artistic intent, and avoid overly literal translations that might not resonate with the target reader. The analysis also reveals challenges with idiomatic expressions and maintaining stylistic nuances in the target language. Accordingly, the findings will contribute to a more comprehensive framework for assessing literary translation quality, ensuring that the translated work effectively communicates the author’s message and resonates with the target reader. The study may contribute to the field of translation studies by demonstrating how Grice’s maxims enhance our understanding of translation quality and the challenges faced by translators. Thus, by applying these
