ABSTRACT

As the object of translation includes anything that can be expressed as well as anything limiting the power of expression, a key to translation could be a key to an infinite number of worlds, real ones and virtual ones. It would take all the disciplines of philosophy and science to deal with such a topic. But the object of translation is not so much what may be expressed and hence translated, it is the way in which something is expressed in one language as opposed to another. Or, more precisely, it is the way in which the differences in the expressive power of two languages may be overcome.
