Abstracts

The study is a response to the lack of interest in liturgical translation on the part of contemporary Slovak and Czech scholars. Its main aim is to pave the way for a translation-studies-based reflection on liturgical meta-texts and to discuss the typological features of liturgical translation. The core of the study is divided into two chapters. Both provide a descriptive analysis of selected modern translations of two Byzantine liturgical compositions: the Paschal Canon by St. John Damascene and the Paschal Stichera. The translation procedures empirically used in the meta-texts are compared with procedures typical for either technical or literary translation. The analyses suggest that linguistic communities tend to translate liturgical compositions in a literary way when they perceive the proto-text as close to their domestic literary polysystem and translate more technically when aware of the strangeness of the original.
