The Formation and Development of the Pragmalinguistic Approach in the Theory of Literary Translation

This article examines the emergence and evolution of the pragmalinguistic approach within literary translation theory, tracing its development from Charles Morris's foundational semiotics (1938) through contemporary applications. The pragmalinguistic approach integrates pragmatic theory with linguistic analysis, focusing on how contextual meaning, communicative intentions, and cultural pragmatic norms transfer across languages in literary texts. Through analysis of key theoretical contributions, this study demonstrates how this approach has revolutionized translation theory by addressing the complex interplay between form and function in cross-cultural literary communication. The findings suggest that the pragmalinguistic approach provides essential tools for navigating culture-specific expressions while preserving aesthetic and communicative functions of literary works.
