  This study with application of a mixed-view of translation and linguistics, conducted to analyze the translations of banking texts in the documentary credit section (custom and practices) of international banking by selection of five translated books among which one hundred and seventy sentences were randomly selected. To this end, two perspectives of Newmark translation equivalent finding strategies and structural semantics with a descriptive-analytical method based on library resources were applied in order to analyze and recognize those translation strategies which are most frequently utilized and have prominent role in the correct translation and transmission of meaning in these types of text. Findings of the study indicate that transference and through-translation are the most frequent strategies and others are less likely to occur. Also, recognized translation, translation label, compensation, componential analysis, notes, additions and glosses and cultural strategies (in the specialized section of texts) are not utilized at all. Contrary to the frequency and based on the founded samples: functional, descriptive, componential analysis, notes, additions and glosses and through-translation play a more prominent role in translations of these types of text. Of course, this does not mean that other strategies do not play a role in equivalent selections of such texts, but the appropriate use of other strategies seems to be superficial for translation and transfer of correct meaning in these types of text and each strategy must be used in its proper place.

  Understanding conceptual relations is essential for considering and conveying meaning, because when examining different types of meaning, it seeks to go beyond the level of linguistic construction and determines the exact meaning of a word in and outside the contexts. This research aims to determine the type and frequency of conceptual relations between Gilaki words used in the folklore tales of Guilan, showing the prevailing semantic relationships among them. For this purpose, 62 stories from the book Folklore Tales of Guilan were analyzed. This research was descriptive-analytical. Conceptual relations including hyponymy, synonymy, polysemy, homonymy, homography, member-collection, meronymy, portion-mass, and repetition were analyzed and the frequency of each was calculated. The results showed that among the types of lexical relations, the occurrence frequency of the lexical relation of hyponymy had the highest frequency with 84%. After the lexical relation of hyponymy, the frequency of occurrence of each of the conceptual relations was determined in the following order: meronymy 6%, portion-mass 3%, synonym 2%, homonymy 1%, member-collection 1%, polysemy 1%, homography 1 %, and repetition 1%. Moreover, between Gilaki words in this variety of language, semantic lexical relations of semantic opposition, semantic contrast and collocation have not been used. Manuscript profile
