target code only provide input to the third code, which supersedes its matrix information
and target parameters, but further establishes its own predictability as an individuated
code. Translation, in case of recodification in a third code is thus a unique sign
producing act, not quite absolutely derivative, and designates a translator the role of the
creator and artist, in the true sense.
8.5 FINDINGS OF THEORETICAL ANALYSIS OF THE SOURCE
AND THE TARGET TEXT
The translation ‘The Weary Generations’ cannot be exposed to minute analysis on the
pattern of three other novels already critiqued, for the reasons mentioned. Besides plot
construction, which has been altered altogether in the TT, the prose composition of the
TT with reference to the Translation Theory devised in earlier chapters, can, however be
commented upon in the following aspects:

TT is not the literal rendering of the ST, but a semantic representation of
the ST, so the TT manifests its own Transitivity System, moods and modulation, the FSP

English. The Structural modifications, perceiving the boundaries between sequences,
Topic shifts and Text as a unit of structure
is entirely different from the ST. In its prose
designs it is an independent unit.
Equivalence at the word level cannot be drawn, since no such equivalence exists
between the ST and the TT. There are, no doubt, certain passages in the TT which can be
regarded as the literal rendering of the ST, but as such they are parts and passages in
various situations: the political situation, the arrival of Simon Commission in Lucknow
(ST.p :293-296)___(TT.p: 223-225) , the All India Muslim Leagues session in Delhi,
where renowned Muslim leaders like Dr Mohammad Iqbal, Maulana Mohammad Ali

234), Fisherman’s narration of the Jalianwala Bagh’s incident (ST.p:236-253)__
(TT.p:189-198), the marriage ceremony of Amir Khan’s son, Wazir (ST.p:331-
