Gender in the Lexicons of Persian Translation of Holy Quran by Tahereh Saffarzadeh

The investigation of the effect of translator’s gender in the discourse of target text is considered as one of the most important grounds of translation studies and its link with the study of discourse while it has been paid less attention by those who work from Arabic to Persian and vice versa. Hence, the present study relying on Norman Fairclough’s approach of discourse analysis and his theory under the title of triple values aims to achieve a kind of analysis of the representation of gender discourse in the lexicons of translation of the Holy Quran by Tahereh Saffarzadeh. According to the findings of this research, the gender of translator is effective on his translational preferences in the lexical level and they are classified in three groups of finding the equivalence, the explanations in parenthesis which are of experiential value, the relational value and best of all the explanatory value.
