| Summary: | In the first part, From interpreted signs to interpretated signs, the mechanism of translation constructs logical and non-logical connections between the linguistic sign and object of the source text. While the Saussurean two-step skill of translation is transposed from the source text into the target text, the concept of semiotranslation supplements Saussure’s sign-internal strategy into Peirce’s sign-external interpretant-signs. The interpretants guarantee the semiotranslation of source into target text. The “genuine” effects of three-way semiosis are both “good” and “bad” translations made by the translator. The semiotic signature of the translator implies the emotional, energetic, and logical qualities of the original and translated sign system. In the second part, From intersemiosis to trans-semiosis, Jakobson’s three types of intralingual, interlingual, and intersemiotic types of translation argue how semiotranslation generates Peirce’s intersemiosis. Semiotranslation forms goal-directed habits, but without fixed results, no fixed methods, no fixed redefinitions, and no fixed agents. All results, methods, and agents are tentative, provisional, and temporary attempts to make versions of translation. Peirce’s revolutionary and skeptical ideas of linguistic signs include graphical, acoustic, optical, and other non-linguistic signs to create intertextual semiosis, extralinguistic intersemiosis, and artistic trans-semiosis.
