Abstract
This study tackles a new aspect that relates phonology and interpretation. It indicates that juncture may cause misunderstanding and therefore mistranslation. The significant problem is in relation to interpretation as it may not be accurate because the translators do not have good knowledge of certain phonological phenomena, and this causes phonological ambiguity leading to wrong translation. Thus, the translator cannot catch the idea of the utterance. The study depends on real test that is applied to students of fourth year in Tikrit university/ college of Arts/ Translation Department, to investigate the percentage of mistakes of -Received:12/7/2019 translation with the utterances that have this phonological phenomenon. The study concludes that the students do not interpret -Accepted:29/ 7/2019 most of the utterance, because of their poor knowledge in phonology and its features.
