Translation Uncertainty مقاله

He imagines a translator working within the framework of something like the Tarski-Davidson compositional theory of meaning54, and in the first instance, examines the basic clauses that specify the truth conditions of the tenseless counterparts of the predicates of the native language, for example: >x,t<satisfy"odolby"55-(y)(y is bloodstained at tx is a stage of y) -a pair consisting of a temporal stage, x, and a time, t, satisfies "odolby. Given the only truth concept that, according to Quine himself, can advance the work of translation, it can be said that the existence of a simpler scheme alone shows that are presented as correct utterances of the natives' language (and relate to things we do not know about the world) are also different from each other. 87 And [in such cases] even for sentences that contain such vocabulary, a weak, rather than strong, indeterminacy is suggested, because regardless of the precision of our argument, having no other old translation of those words will not lead to providing a theory with empirical adequacy regarding the relevant data; therefore, no old oral translation can be considered a correct and completely reasonable reflection of the thoughts of native scientists. Quine's main point was that the limitation that knowledge regarding the meanings of natives' observational sentences imposes on the translation of their theoretical language is no more than what their observations and vocabulary impose on the possibility of choosing an empirical theory imposes.
