Abstract

The thesis comprises six translations with commentary. Excerpts from four books were translated from English into Croatian (David Willetts: A University Education, Kenneth Christie: United States Foreign Policy and National Identity in the Twenty-First Century, Caroline Evans and Paul Smokowski: Bullying and Victimization Across the Lifespan: Playground Politics and Power, and Michael Pickering: Stereotyping: The Politics of Representation), and two of them were translated from Croatian into English (Damir Karakaš: Sjećanje šume, and Marijana Borić: Faust Vrančić – portret izumitelja).
The commentary focused on the translation of terminology and strategies of transposing specialised language from the source text to the target text. The comments include examples of terms where difficulty in translation was encountered, the analysis of the source text terms, the reasoning behind the translation strategy used to solve the issue and the final solution.
