These three types of meaning correspond to three basic divisions:semantics(studyi ng the referential meaning of signs);pragmatics(studyi ng the pragmatic meaning of signs);syntactics(stu.the intralingual meaning). In the first place the task of the translator is rendering all types of meaning in the translation as fully as possible though it is impossible not to lose part of the meaning in translating. Of all meanings the referential is preserved to the highest degree in most cases because human experience is more or less the same everywhere and if there are differences l/ge is constructed in such a way so as to render even an unfamiliar situation to those translating a giving text. to a lesser degree the pragmatic is reserved.
