Abstract
This paper explores the interface between the
conscious and unconscious minds in translation
and focuses on the inner word form that it
considers to be the linchpin in this interface. This
paper assumes that words pertain via their inner
forms directly to archetypal images and via these
images indirectly to archetypes, which underpins
image-driven interpretations of individual words
in translation.
This paper discusses Ukrainian гріх commonly
translated as English a sin and shows that this
translatability does not imply an interpretability
as the words via their inner forms relate to two
distinct archetypal images - of fire and of
movement, respectively, - that uniquely
transcend the cultures to the core and capture a
different, culture-specific knowledge of SIN.
Pictorially, these are different S INs, owing to
which гріх means something different to a
speaker of Ukrainian than a sin does to a speaker
of English. Yet, ingredients and associations
drawn into the archetypal images show that THE
SHADOW, ANIMA, THE SELF, and
TRANSFORMATIONS are the archetypes that
jointly endow to speakers the same
foreknowledge of SIN as mediated from within
the collective unconscious. This way the inner
word forms via their connection to archetypal
images extend back beyond the conscious into
the unconscious mind.
