This paper is a contribution to the discussion of translatability of proper names in a culturally marked text genre such as comic. In particular, our analysis focuses on the examination of some cognitive aspects of translation procedures performed on the selected French toponyms and anthroponyms by the German and Polish translators of the comic volume Astérix en Corse by René Goscinny und Albert Uderzo as well as their qualitative assessment. Additionally, in some cases of deficient equivalence, different translations were provided as alternative solutions.

Artykuł jest poświęcony zagadnieniu funkcji pełnionych przez antroponimy w dziele literackim i jego tłumaczeniu. Rozważania autorskie dotyczą przede wszystkim zmian, jakie zachodzą w funkcjach pełnionych przez nazwy osobowe w wyniku przekładu. Materiał badawczy został wyekscerpowany z dwóch powieści dla dzieci: Little Wolf’s Book of Badness (Księga straszliwej niegrzeczności – napisał Wilczuś z wielkiej złości) Iana Whybrowa w przekładzie Ernesta Brylla oraz Horrid Henry’s Stinkbomb (Koszmarny Karolek. Arcycuchnąca bomba22) Franceski Simon w tłumaczeniu Marii Makuch. Zaproponowana klasyfikacja uwzględnia podział na funkcje zachowane,czyli takie, które nie uległy zmianom w procesie przekładu, utracone, czyli niezachowane w tłumaczeniu i naddane, czyli widoczne w onimach w tekście tłumaczonym, a niewystępujące w dziele oryginalnym.

The article’s main aim is to present and discuss a typology of functions of proper names in a literary work and its translation. The analysis raises the issues of the changes that occur in the functions performed by human proper names as a result of translation. The names were excerpted from two children’s novels: Little Wolf’s Book of Badness by Ian Whybrow and Horrid Henry’s Stinkbomb by Francesca Simon and their translations. The proposed classification of functions distinguishes between ones that haven’t changed in translation, ones which have been lost in translation and ones which have been added in translation, detected in the anthroponyms in the translation and and absent from the original text.

Niniejszy artykuł poświęcono istotności nazw własnych w fantastyce na przykładzie amerykańskiej franczyzy Gwiezdne Wojny. Światowa popularność stworzonego przez George’a Lucasa uniwersum zrodziła zapotrzebowanie na tłumaczenie towarzyszących mu materiałów. Jednym z zadań tłumaczy było stworzenie glosariusza nazw własnych – kluczowych dla fabuły, wielokrotnie powracających, takich jak np. Jedi oraz Sith. Niniejszy artykuł stanowi analizę tłumaczeń wymienionych nazw własnych w powieściach z serii Gwiezdne Wojny opublikowanych w językach niemieckim (61), polskim (41) i rosyjskim (19) przed 2000 rokiem. Zawiera on wszystkie zaproponowane w nich przez tłumaczy warianty, komentuje ich wybory i wykorzystane strategie. Analiza pokazuje, że podczas gdy tłumacze niemieccy i polscy z reguły wykorzystywali zaproponowane wcześniej wersje, o tyle rosyjscy postępowali pod tym względem mniej konsekwentnie.

The presented paper argues the importance of proper names in fantasy and science fiction in general but focuses primarily on the highly successful Star Wars franchise. Worldwide popularity of George Lucas’ creation resulted in the need of translation of Star Wars materials to other languages. Translators were given a task, among others, of creating a glossary of proper names essential to the overall story, including such as Jedi and Sith. This paper is an analysis of translation of these proper names in Star Wars novels released before the year 2000 in German (61), Polish (39) and Russian (18). It presents all variants proposed by the translators before the final one was canonized and comments on their choices and used strategies. The analysis shows that while German and Polish translators usually retained use of previously established versions, Russian translators proved to be less consequent in this matter.

The Translation of Chinese Proper Names: A Cognitive Approach The article focuses on the translation of non-literary Chinese proper names, a subject which to date has not enjoyed much research interest as a result of the common belief that proper names are untranslatable. The article discusses techniques used in the translation of Chinese anthroponyms, toponyms and brand names into Polish and English. The author refers to the strategies used in the process of transferring names to the target language and presents the consequences of applying given techniques from the cognitive perspective, which entails analysing the names in terms of their structure and meaning. Particular attention is paid to the connotations of the names, the impact they have on the speakers of a given language, as well as the mental images that can be derived from their structure. In the contrastive analysis of the names of tourist locations in Beijing and their Polish and English equivalents, the author applies the cognitive grammar approach as developed by Ronald W. Langacker. The image schemas of the names are used to present the distinct conceptualizations embodied in the names with the same references in different languages. One of the chapters describes how European names are adapted into Chinese. The study also provides an overview of the characteristics of the Chinese onomasticon, a factor which makes translation from Chinese to European languages particularly complicated. The observations made in the course of the analysis permit conclusions to be drawn on the linguistic worldview created by Polish, Chinese and English propria.

L’articolo affronta il tema della traduzione dei nomi propri di tre edizioni romene del libro Pinocchio, evidenziando le differenti strategie adottate dai traduttori e illustrando il grado di scostamento dal testo di partenza. Il contributo include uno studio esaustivo su tutta la gamma dei nomi propri presenti nel romanzo di Collodi, confrontando le diverse soluzioni adottate dai traduttori romeni. Inoltre vengono esaminate le implicazioni inerenti alla traducibilità di alcuni tipi onomastici come gli antroponimi dei personaggi fantastici e i nomi dei luoghi immaginari, mettendoli in relazione con il repertorio stilistico romeno.

The paper includes a comprehensive study of the full range of proper names in Collodi’s novel, comparing the different solutions adopted by the Romanian translators. The implications inherent in the translatability of certain onomastic types such as fictional anthroponyms and fictional locations are also examined, relating them to the Romanian stylistic repertoire
