Opis

Language as a means of communication could be used explicitly or implicitly.Implicitness as a linguistic notion is carried out by means of miscellaneous linguistic devices.There are different styles of translation determined by the text-type. Linguistically, there are certain devices that can be used to represent implicitness such as metaphor and euphemism. However, the literary texts are written in a way that urges the reader to investigate the intended meaning. The main problem is that this implicated style complicates the task of the translator as well as the reader of the translated text (target text).
