ABSTRACT

This research discusses the issue of lexical gaps and untranslatability between English and Enuani, including linguistic and cultural untranslatability. English belongs to the Indo-European language family and Enuani, a dialect of the Igbo language under the Afro-Asiatic language family. The untranslatability methods and techniques are also discussed in the research work. Untranslatability is not absolute, we should understand the co-existence of translatability and untranslatability. Based on this, we can use some methods to compensate in order to reduce the barrier in translation. KEYWORDS- untranslatability, lexical gaps, translation techniques, translation methods.
