5. Thesis statement and topic sentences.

Thesis statement: **In bold**

In the field of translation, there are a large discussion over the appropriate translation strategy chosen for the transmission of cultural contents. The two main approaches are domestication and foreignization. **The present study aims to analyze how useful is the foreignization in translation works, considering the point of view of some authors such as Esmail Zare-Behtash and Sepideh Firoozkoohi who judge that domestication has been the most diffusive cultural translation strategy.**

1st topic sentence: **In bold**
 * Domestication and foreignization approaches take into account the power of cultural factors on translation and consider the influence of translations on the target readers and cultures as well. ** Domesticating and foreignizing translation are two terms in Translation Studies created by Lawrence Venuti. Domestication refers to the translation approach which intends to reduce the strangeness of the foreign text for target language readers. It means making the text familiar and consequently bringing the foreign culture closer to the readers one. Foreignization takes the reader to the foreign culture and to make him or her feel the linguistic and cultural variations

2nd topic sentence: **In bold**
 * In the translation practice, the two strategies are alternative to a translator, although some experts say that there is no way to consider foreignization as useful method. ** **In a detailed study, Esmail Zare-Behtash and Sepideh Firoozkoohi, have conclude that domestication has been the most invasive cultural translation strategy****.** The research question wanted to explore the main cultural translation strategy of domestication and foreignization, which was composed of six of Hemingway’s works, initially printed in English with their Persian translations over a time of six decades. As it was conclued after authors’ researches, domestication strategy beats foreignization strategy both in number of the procedures and number of application.Their sources proved that while domestication strategy includes twelve procedures of idiomatic translation: synonymy, limited universalization, absolute universalization, descriptive translation, adaptation, equivalence, normalization, explication,simplification, exoticism, omission, and the foreignization strategy is composed of six procedures: namely, etratextual gloss, intratextual gloss, orthographic adaptation, repetition, calque and borrowing.

**BÁRBARA VAI CONCLUIR ESTE PARAGRAFO.** In a different point of view, we found Nico Wiersema  who defends //foreignization// pointing the importance of it in a globalized world, and how it can improve people’s knowledge about cultures. He believes that due to the present tendency of globalization, the translator no longer needs to all the time find a translation of a term in the target language if this would make the text lose credibility.

3rd topic sentence:
 * Due to the current trend of globalisation, the translator no longer has the absolute need to always find a translation of a term in the target language if this would make the target-language text lose credibility. ** An excessive translation is a translation that fails to foreignise ,in other words, use source-language terms in the target-language text, to the point that I believe is now acceptable. Most of times there are several options to translate a word in the target language, however, there are some people who rather change the real translation for similar words that give a general idea only because the readers would be more familiarized with the target language word.

4th topic sentece:
 * Future translations need to be as foreignising as possible within the limits of reasonable acceptability . ** As a result of globalization ,target-language terms can be informative to the reader because they reflect the source cultures in a more authentic and correct manner and consequently contribute to a better understanding of it. Translation is becoming a more and more important tool to improve understanding between cultures

5th Topic sentence: The use of English as a global language is an important tendency in world communication. Globalization is also linked to the ground of Translation Studies and how it has become more independent as result of globalization.
 * Globalisation is linked to English being a lingua franca; the language is said to be used at conferences (interpreting) and seen as the main language in the new technologies. **

6th Topic sentence:
 * Telecommunications, subtitling, business translation, and the EU get plenty of attention, but the focus is on English being a global language. ** Translation is said to have become old-fashioned. This argument is valid only for Literary translation from lesser-known cultures which is hardly considered as being affected by globalization. Therefore, there is still an enormous field of opportunity. There is so much more for translators and writers and readers to explore and share. In our globalized world, translation is the key to understanding and learning foreign cultures.
