Translators Up-and-down the Garden Path: The Transfer of Pragmatic Meaning as a Part of Translation Competence

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The paper addresses the area of pragmatic meaning and its transfer from English source texts (STs) into Czech target texts (TTs) in the context of translation competence (TC) and its acquisition. It argues that the transfer of intended meanings is an essential part of TC that needs to be systematically developed in the course of TC acquisition and supports this thesis by analysing two translation versions of an English ST. Focusing on irony, it identifies the challenges involved in its transfer as comprehension difficulty and cultural specificity and demonstrates that an unsuccessful transfer of irony can cause incoherence of the TT. The analyses are followed by a teaching proposal that is designed to deal with pragmatically demanding STs and stressesthe importance of translation strategies based on creativity and on an awareness of cultural and linguistic differences.
