Fig. 7: Translator’s individuation process.

This diagram illustrates the model of the translator’s individuation process. The two diagonal clines symbolize the dual pathways within the translator’s individuation process. The two arrows at the bottom signify the translator’s role as a mediator between the original author and the target reader. The two arrows at the top depict the convergence of the translator’s cultural reservoir, where the semiotic resources of the source culture merge with those of the target culture.
