Abstract

Natural
semantic metalanguage, inspired by Leibnitz's alphabet of human thoughts, is a
semantic approach which introduces universal semantic concepts. Empirical
cross-linguistic investigations have now established that there are nearly sixty
concepts which occur as words or word like elements in all languages, and which
are presumably innate. These universal concepts cannot be defined or explained,
but other more complex concepts can be defined and explained through them.
Moreover, these concepts are simply translatable across all languages. Thus,
after the introduction of the above-mentioned approach, the current paper
investigates the use of this approach in translation theory focusing on the
possibility of cross-cultural and cross-linguistic translatability. In
conclusion, universal human concepts ensure translatability of our thoughts from
one language into another since they constitute a basis for genuine human
understanding.
