	Hermeneutics and Translation Theory
		In contrast to a traditional, Aristotelian view of language where spoken words represent mental images and written words are symbols for spoken words, Gadamerian perspective on linguistics emphasizes a fundamental unity between language and human existence.
		Language is not a tool which human beings manipulate to represent a meaning-full world; rather, language forms human reality.
		Translation, according to Nida (1984) consists in reproducing in the receptor language the closest natural equivalent of the source language massage, first in terms of meaning and secondly in terms of style.

	Tennent's Ceylon 1860. v1_p4_c10
		The literature of the ancient Singhalese derived its character from the hierarchic ascendency, which was fostered by their government, and exerted a preponderant influence over the temperament of the people.
		But, to the credit of the Singhalese, it must be said, that in their compositions, however satirical or familiar they may be, their verses are entirely free from the licentiousness which disfigures similar productions in India; and that if deficient in imagination and grace, they are equally exempt from grossness and indelicacy.
		The Singhalese language is so flexible that it admits of every description of rhythm; of this the versifiers have availed themselves to exhibit every variety of stanza and measure, and every native, male or female, can recite numbers of their favourite ballads.

	The Polish Language and Translations
		The spoken language also becomes corrupted by the media, which seem to make literal translations, paying no heed to correct Polish usage.
		This clumsy, corrupted language is used amongst Polish communities in the English-speaking countries, where they forget their native tongue.
		Propagated by the media, it spreads like wildfire, entrenching the curious paradox: whereas in previous centuries there was a strong repression of Polish by the occupying forces, there was also a strong resistance to it, whereas nowadays nobody seems to care.
