Abstract
The issue of translation has been pivotal in analytical philosophy of language because it is strictly bound to the problem of meaning. The aim of the paper is introducing and discussing the main translation theories, showing the limits of translation definitions. On the one hand, it aims at understanding why the definition of translation on the basis of other concepts, such as meaning or equivalence, brought to paradoxical outcomes. On the other hand, it aims at showing why such outcomes are not so dramatic and how the notion of translation is instead useful to clarify the deeper mechanisms of language comprehension and linguistic phenomena, in both their semantic and pragmatic aspects.
