Evaluating Three English Renditions of the Various Meanings of the Verb SEE in some Selected Verses

Abstract

Occupying the top position in the hierarchal classification of other verbs of senses, the verb SEE is deemed one of the most frequent verbs in English and Arabic. The multiplicity and metaphorical extension of the verb SEE are problematic of translation. Unless being masterful and acquainted with the various uses of the verb SEE in English and Arabic, translators are unable to specify the very meaning of the verb SEE. The current study is confined to evaluate three English renditions of the various meanings of the verb SEE in some selected verses.
