Abstract

This study is directed towards the analysis of dentistry discourse,
applied to the published paper abstracts with their translations. The study
pointed out the discoursal functions projected in the paper abstracts that are
rendered into the TL; it spotlights the randomly selected data that contains
structural patterns in their contextual domains. Throughout the
representation of the multifarious elaboration of the discourses, the study
noted several issues under discussion. The nature of this study is descriptive
rather than prescriptive in terms of the translation issues and what the
translator has to do in rendering the dentistry discourse. The study concluded that the dentistry discourse, which is written for academic
purposes, has a property of being direct, formal and that follows purely
scientific techniques. The translator therefore should be skillful, having
professional know-how in order to construct the target discourse in a
successful and comprehendible way, despite that fact that the dentiststranslators themselves have adequate experience of the subject matter of the
text typology they embark on. Yet they, to some extent, could scarcely
render SL into the suitable construction on TL discourse and that could be
due to the lack of the contrastive discoursal structures between English and
Arabic in order to realize a more successful rendering in the target language.
