We today, however, are in e different situation of communication. We have another presupposition pool, but we want to understand the written text and translate it, and on this basis the context is extremely important. But we must not overlook that the role played by the context for us was played by the presupposition pool for them. The nature of a Bible translation depends on its purpose and its target group. Idiomatic translations translates both the text and the original presupposition pool as it were.
Literal translations translate just the text.
For those who wants to come as close to the original text as possible without a knowledge of Hebrew and Greek and who wants to study the original presupposition pool, a literal translation will be of help. I think that translations of this kind, to a greater degree should use one English word as a semantic signal, just as one Greek or Hebrew word was used as such a signal. In the minds of those understanding Greek in the first century, the concept behind the word was related to order and beauty, and in different contexts it served as a signal, revealing different sides of this concept. These words are translated with a host of different English words with a loss of important connotations and information. The view that words dont have meaning without a context is based on Nidas functional equivalence view, which again is based on Chomsky.
