Abstract:

The study of translation can shed crucial light on the extent to which thoughts that are first organized in one language can be successfully transferred through another, and thus on the nature and extent of language differences. Language requires that thoughts be selected, categorized, oriented, and combined, and each language places its own constraints on these processes, which are illustrated here with attempts to translate from the Native American language Seneca into English.
