View source for Semantic equivalence (linguistics)

In [[semantics]], the best-known types of '''semantic equivalence''' are ''dynamic equivalence'' and ''formal equivalence'' (two terms coined by [[Eugene Nida]]), which employ [[translation]] approaches that focus, respectively, on conveying the ''[[Meaning (linguistics)|meaning]]'' of the [[source text]]; and that lend greater importance to preserving, in the translation, the ''[[literal translation|literal]]'' structure of the source text. Nida formulated the distinction originally in relation to [[Bible translations]].
