When translating from English into Portuguese, certain
idiomatic expressions resist literal transfer due to cultural
specificity. According to modern translation theory, which
strategy best addresses cases where semantic
equivalence is impossible, but functional equivalence can
be achieved? Alternativa A: Word-for-word translation, focusing on lexical fidelity
rather than communicative value. Ou Alternativa B: Cultural substitution, replacing the expression with
one that produces a similar pragmatic effect in the
target culture. Ou Alternativa C: Loan translation, keeping the original form and
adapting only the grammar. Ou Alternativa D: Literal translation, maintaining the original wording
regardless of meaning loss.
