The genesis of linear logic comes with a decomposition of the intuitionistic implication. Once linear logic properly defined, it corresponds to a translation of intuitionistic logic into linear logic, often called Girard's translation. In fact Jean-Yves Girard has defined two translations in his linear logic paper[1]. We call them the call-by-name translation and the call-by-value translation.
These translations can be extended to translations of classical logic into linear logic.

Call-by-name Girard's translation
Formulas are translated as:
This is extended to sequents by .
This allows one to translate the rules of intuitionistic logic into linear logic:
Call-by-value translation
Formulas are translated as:
The translation of any formula starts with , we define such that .
The translation of sequents is .
This allows one to translate the rules of intuitionistic logic into linear logic:
We use .
Alternative presentation
It is also possible to define as the primitive construction.
If we define , we have and thus we obtain the same translation of proofs.
Call-by-value Girard's translation
The original version of the call-by-value translation given by Jean-Yves Girard[1] is an optimisation of the previous one using properties of positive formulas.
Formulas are translated as:
The translation of any formula is a positive formula.
The translation of sequents is .
This allows one to translate the rules of intuitionistic logic into linear logic:
We use .
