Tehnici de mediere culturală în versiunea română a romanului Laur de Evgheni Vodolazkin [Articol]

Abstract

The issue of equivalence or that of correspondence and adequacy in translation can be discussed at different levels of language, given the semantic, stylistic, grammatical or phonetic component. The most important of them is, of course, the lexical component, because the word is the main carrier of denotative and connotative information in the process of interlinguistic transfer. Translation also means using the connotative resources of terms, because they are specific marks of a community’s culture. The paper will follow the techniques and strategies of cultural mediation applied by the translator of the novel “Laur” by Evgheni Vodolazkin: transliteration of lexemes, annotation with footnotes, periphrasis, equivalence, generalization, in which the translator showed imagination and bicultural competence.
