Intersemiotic translation
Intersemiotic translation refers to converting meaning from one form of sign system to another, such as transforming a written story into a film or a painting. Unlike translation of languages, which deals with words and texts, intersemiotic translation focuses on translating symbols, images, sounds, or other signs into different expressive forms while preserving the original message. It bridges different modes of communication, making content accessible across various media, and highlights how meaning can be conveyed through diverse artistic or communicative channels.
