Abstract

Društvene okolnosti uzrokovane pandemijom koronavirusa rezultirale su velikim promjenama u jezicima. Tome svjedoči veliki broj neologizama, odnosno novih riječi, kao i pojmova koje su jezici preuzeli prvenstveno iz engleskog, ali se očituje i u povećanoj učestalosti pojedinih riječi te riječi koje su ušle u svakodnevnu upotrebu iz specijaliziranih jezičnih krugova. Nakon teoretskog uvoda u ovaj rad u kojem se iznose neke od definicija i teorija unutar neologije, načina tvorbe i prevođenja neologizama, slijedi pregled novih riječi nastalih tijekom pandemije, a koje su se pojavile u prijevodima tekstova između hrvatskog i švedskog jezika. Analiza neologizama pokazala je da, iako je najčešće moguće pronaći najbliži ekvivalent u ciljnom jeziku, dinamična komunikacijska situacija tijekom pandemije predstavlja određene izazove za prevoditelje. Samo neki od problema s kojima se prevoditelj može susresti su neujednačena pravopisna praksa, nespretno definiranje pojmova koji su iz specijaliziranih područja ušli u svakodnevnu komunikaciju, pojmovi koji ne postoje u ciljnom jeziku, a što je rezultat različitog pristupa pandemiji itd. U radu se uz pregled neologizama predlažu i potencijalna prijevodna rješenja.

Abstract (english)

The social circumstances caused by the coronavirus pandemic have led to significant changes in languages. This is evident in a large number of neologisms, i.e. new words, as well as concepts that have entered languages primarily from English. It is also reflected in the increased frequency of certain words, and words that have entered everyday use from specialized language circles. The theoretical introduction to this work presents some of the definitions and theories within neology, explaining how neologisms are created and translated. Following this, there is an overview of new words created during the pandemic, which appeared in translations of texts between Croatian and Swedish. The analysis of neologisms showed that, although it is often possible to find the closest equivalent in the target language, the dynamic communication situation during the pandemic introduces some challenges for translators. Some of the problems translator may encounter include uneven spelling practices, clumsily defined terms that have entered daily communication from specialized fields, and terms that do not exist in the target language due to different approaches to the pandemic, etc. In addition to the neologism overview, the paper proposes potential translation solutions.
