Traditionally, literary translation was discussed in terms of form and content dichotomy. Yet when we take a closer look, translation is a complex phenomenon inscribed in a particular social and cultural space. In this article we investigate translation from three different perspectives: linguistic, social, and hermeneutical. The first focuses on the interlinguistic transfer, the second on the society that regulates professional behavior, while the last approach gives insight into the translator's subjectivity able to question the social order and defend transgressive practices of translation.

Students' translations into Polish of the French expression soi disant (found in the "Frantext" programme) are considered on two Ievels: that of linguistic means used (modalisers, antonymous modality, apparent reported speech, verb expressions of the type: vouloir/paraitre/passer pour and ways of quoting another discourse (possibility of using explicite/implicite). The semantic and contrastive approach appears to be useful in the description of Polish words (e.g. niejako), particularly difficult from the point of view of the theory of combinations.Translation

The article discusses problems connected with the strategy of dialect translation of lyrics by S. Yesenin into the Polish language. The author of the article shows the most important functions, which dialects serve in lyrics, and analyses the strategy that are the most frequently employed in their translation. The results of the investigation show the following distinctive features of transferring dialect from Russian to the Polish language: translators usually decide to replace dialect with neutral lexis or they give up translating dialect at all. As a consequence of such decisions, two phenomena can be observed: changes in the pragmatics of language function and impoverishment of the author’s poetic language.

There are quite a number of biblical translations into Czech. This contribution attempts to compare and analyze six contemporary Czech translations of the Bible. The texts used for the analysis are Mt 27:62–66 and 2 Cor 5:16–17. This relatively small textual basis does not allow of pronouncing a concrete and absolute judgement about which translation is the best. The advantages and disadvantages, however, of the particular translations have become apparent. This demonstrates that translating the Bible is a task that cannot be definitively completed, although the best result might remain as an at least approximatively achievable goal. The plurality of biblical translations in one language can be useful for those who are not able to read the Bible in the original languages.

The objective of this text consists in presenting how it is necessary for contemporary translators and interpreters (both literary and specialised) to acquire and develop the ability to recognize elements of identity discourse in translated texts. Nowadays, the need for inter-cultural exchange is inevitably connected with the necessity of establishing harmonious co-existence for numerous cultures and identities. Therefore, it is crucial to educate translators in a way that enables them to pay special attention to identity and cultural perturbations present in translated texts (culture and language hybridisation, multiple identity, cultural dislocation, presence in linguistic and political discourse of minority cultures), regardless of their genre or form. Such a strong emphasis on identity problems in the translation is especially relevant in the European context, where the attention of researchers and politicians directed at identity problems stemming from ethnical and cultural issues sets the framework for a new cultural paradigm that determines the future development of the Eu. Becoming acquainted with this paradigm which emphasises fl uency, identity unmarkedness and the new model of European collectivity is indispensable for a translator aspiring to become a true cultural mediator.

Every translation is a second-order discourse, based on a first-order discourse, whose form is the result of negotiation between the discursive polysystems of the source and target cultures. Its dual role, representing the source-language discourse in the target culture as well as meeting the intended expectations of the target text receiver, inevitably entails the intervention of the translator as a second-order communicating subject, as will be illustrated using a French translation of a building design.

This paper aims to reconstruct the history, characterised by several attempts, of the publication of an Italian translation of the book Pamiętnik z powstania warszawskiego (1970) by Miron Białoszewski. I shall present, for the first time, unpublished communication material (1995) produced by the publishing house Voland (Rome), which provides evidence that Barbara Adamska Verdiani, who is curiously one of the book’s main characters, tried to translate the work. This article discusses several translation and editing issues concerning the Italian edition of Białoszewski’s text, such as the challenge of transposing the writer’s register, defined by Barańczak’s (1976) as “childish” and “colloquial”, and which came to be somehow obscured by editing conventions. Also, this research contrasts the choices made in the Italian translation to several relevant textual sources that range from George Orwell’s (1946) quest for non-verbal formulation of ideas, Roland Barthes’ (1973) concept of a “text de jouissance” and Lawrence Venuti’s (1995) theory of “foreignising translation” as opposed to a “fluent” one.

This article attempts to characterize the way four translators, who dealt with the work of the Polish poet, translated his metaphors into Czech. A comparative analysis of the solutions adopted by Vlasta Dvořáčková, Iveta Mikešova, Jan Pilař and František Kvapil shows how important rhyme and rhythm are in Leśmian’s works and how translational decisions influence the semantic layer of a poem in the target language. For the analysis of metaphorical expressions, I use the theory of concept metaphor introduced by George Lakoff and Mark Johnson in Metaphors we live by.

The paper includes some examples of the comparative usages within adjectives among Catullus’ poems for the introduction. The main assumption is to present a quite new point of view on the rendition of senes severiores, an expression mostly translated as “too strict / too stern old men”. The new interpretation is to be connected with Roman magistrates – censores. The article shortly examines different backgrounds (language, literature, culture) to prove the possibility, that the poet, saying ‘stern old men’ could have meant something more, than it appears at first sight.

Quaestiones huius operae in unius dicti (i. e. ‘senum severiorum’) nova interpretatione offerenda nituntur. Primum varii comparativi in Catulli carminibus usus expositi sunt. Deinde paucae interpretationes horum verborum nostra aetate propositae ostenduntur. Tertio gradu obiectum est, ut pro senibus severioribus ‘censores’ intellegere possemus. Dein coniectura ea aptioribus exemplis eorum subiectivorum (‘senes’, ‘censores’) apud priscos scriptores inveniendis probatur. Duae fa- cies censoris – castigatoris morum litterarumque conferuntur, et illam primam nostris studiis hoc loco (Catul. V 2) proponimus. Pauca etiam de Clodia ista et de aliis poetae Veronensis carminibus, quibus acerbiores contumelias effudit, dicta sunt.

The paper’s objective is to analyse two Italian translations of Henryk Sienkiewicz’s novel Children of the Soil. The first translator was a Neapolitan named Federigo Verdinois, who worked with Sienkiewicz’s permission. The second translator, however, remains anonymous due to the lack of Sienkiewicz’s consent to translate his novel, which in northern Italy (Milano, Florence) had been released in some successful editions that profited only the publishers. Although Verdinois translated Children of the Soil from the Russian version, his work, compared to the second translation, can be recognised as better in evaluation. The analysis of the anonymous translation suggests that the novel was translated hurriedly, negligently (editorial issues), and was severely abridged, which caused a significant decrease in its literary value in comparison to the original.

The issue of terminographic gaps in specialized discourses has always concerned the researchers and readers alike. However, due to the interlingual nature of such a technical issue, the need for interdisciplinary collaboration between translation and terminography seems to be in prospect. For such a reciprocation scheme to come into practical effect, the present study has aimed to conduct a translational-terminographic concerto by putting a specialized English text to the test of Persian translation. This has been done to answer the question if a translator is required to provide for any terminological gap once all attempts at finding the corresponding terminological items have failed. In this pursuit, certain workable criteria for terminographic proposition via translation have been discussed. As such, the practical phase of this study concerns itself with addressing the issue of Persian terminological gaps in a language-related metadiscoursal field and consequently detecting the problem zones of non-equivalence in a specialised text carefully selected for translation. Ultimately, a list of Persian terminological items constructed on the basis of the proposed translational-cum-terminographical scheme is compiled to address the identified terminological gaps in the target metadiscourse under study.

This article investigates the Spanish translation of Miron Białoszewski's Memoir from the Warsaw Uprising. I discuss the erroneous translation of the work as a “diary” according to Spanish dictionaries and literary theory works, the paratexts (introduction and afterword), and the reception of the work by the Spanish speaking community. In the last part, I examine a few passages to demonstrate how Białoszewski’s style has come to be flattened in the translation process.

The translation of humour is a challenge. It requires the accurate decoding of a humorous speech in its original context, the transfer of that speech in a different linguistic and cultural environment and its reformulation in a new expression, which recaptures the intention of the original message. The actual work attempts to present the nature of puns, which constitute one of the manifestations of humour in the literature, in its linguistic and cultural dimension. The study is based on a comparative analysis of examples of puns from Ostatnie życzenie of Andrzej Sapkowski and its Spanish translation. The results are compared in terms of equivalence in linguistic, stylistic and cultural properties to show a risk of loss of the transtextual and transcultural elements and the way of recompensing these elements by substitution, amplification and other rhetorical techniques.
