Explanative ( or exclamatory ) texts are vigorous statements expressing a high level of feelings or emotions and showing no affiliations to other parts of discourse. This paper aims at investigating the varied meaning implied in this class of texts in William Golding's Lord OF The Flies. It is hypothesized that the interpretation of exclamative texts as syntactic, semantic, or pragmatic phenomenon is situational. Eight texts have been selected indiscriminately from this novel and translated into Arabic by Abdulhameed AL- Jamal , Samir Izat Nassar , and Muntadayat Alsakher. The model adopted in the analysis of data is Nida's formal equivalence and dynamic equivalence .The analysis reveals that exclamative texts, in addition to their exclamation function , are situationally motivated and implicitly convey different meanings depending on the context in which they are used. That is, they are realized more pragmatically than syntactically .The study concludes that exclamative texts are multipurpose ones and thus require more attention to be paid, particularly by translators when they come across such a class of texts.
