Linguistic context is a collection of in-text elements that provide grounds of text significance in conjunction with each other and thus results in the correct transfer of the concept of the word as well as the general discourse of the text. Linguistic context is a general concept that consists of four levels of lexical, grammatical (syntactic), rhetorical, and phonetic layers. Consideration of the linguistic context ruling over the verses of the Holy Quran helps to understand the meaning of the message. Al-Qara'a's Sura is among the Suras that expresses particular signifiers of the great incident of the doomsday for its special language structure. Different translations of this Sura have often not been adequately addressed in its linguistic context as a signifying element in transferring the meaning of its verses. The present study, by adopting an analytical and comparative approach, investigates two examples of translations of the Holy Qur'an (Fouladvan and Makarem-eh Shirazi) from Sura Al-Qara'a based on the linguistic equivalence principle in the source and target texts, and at the end proposes a translation that observes the linguistic context based on three lexical, syntactic, and rhetorical elements. Finally, the results of the research indicate that despite the fact that some of the components of the linguistic context have been considered in translating of a number of verses, the total transference of implicit symbolizations arising from the whole linguistic context of the Sura in the translation of many verses is neglected.

We will be encountered with a bewildering variety of literary signs in a poetic text. Action-oriented relations between mentioned signs in poem sitting-together axes and poem substitution leads to the fluidity of these signs and their different implicative functions. This is a factor which contributes to poetic language prominence and leads to literariness of the poetic text. Considering the special function of literary signs and their fluid nature in the formulation of poetic texts causes a complexity and difficulty in translating of these kinds of texts. This research criticizes the role and position of translation, in reflecting the fluidity of literary signs in the target language. In the meanwhile, the translations of Aghany Mahyar Aldamshqy's poems by Kazem Barg Neisi will be examined. Finally, the researcher considers the translation of Kazem Barg Neisi as a successful one in the realm of literary translation. The translator's success is because he has a full knowledge of his poet style and poetic language. By adopting this strategy and having a full knowledge of the poet style, the translator has chosen suitable equivalences and has conserved the fluidity of the text in a way that the reader of this work, by juxtaposing of the source text and the target one can reach the same effect as the readers of the source text do.
