Abstract

Omission, an undeniable occurrence in translational discourse, has long been approached from the linguistic perspective. This study, nevertheless, aims to elaborate the use of omission in translation from the socio-cultural perspective due to the fact that translation is more a bi-cultural activity than a bilingual one. It is, thus, demonstrated and confirmed that the use of omission, as an essential means of adjustment in translation, is fully justified provided that the socio-cultural constraints are fully taken into consideration.
