This study deals with the linguistic analysis of some translation problems in the short story collection "Novelle per un anno" by the author Luigi Pirandello, translated into Arabic by the Libyan linguist Khalifa Tillisi. The aim of the thesis is to highlight the lexical linguistic difficulties encountered and the translation procedures used in the translation, from Italian into Arabic, by the translator during the translation process, trying to find more suitable and convenient alternatives. The research is divided into introduction, chapter and conclusion. In the introduction I will deal with the concept of semantics and its importance in translation, especially the literary one. Then in the research itself I will throw light on the semantic problems concerning the translation of the names manifested in the Arabic version. Then, in the conclusion, the results of the research will be presented. I hope with this study that I can contributed at least in part to clarify to the reader of translations what must be taken into account in order to avoid the translation problems encountered in the translation of names in a certain context.
