Abstract

U radu je obrađena tema prevođenja sociokulturnih elemenata prisutnih u tekstovima na švedskom i hrvatskom jeziku vezanih uz folklor i tradiciju obaju kultura. Sociokulturni aspekti jezika su značajan segment prevođenja, a ujedno su i vrlo izazovan prevoditeljski problem. Jedna od spornih točaka pri prevođenju izvornika koji su povezani s običajima i tradicijom je kako prevesti „osjećaj" koji određeni koncept nosi u izvornoj kulturi, a da se pritom sačuva smisao teksta. Također, prevoditelj analizom utvrđuje hoće li prijevode približiti ciljnom jeziku i publici ili će pak biti doslijedan originalu bez značajnijih intervencija prijevodnim strategijama. U svrhu analize prijevodnih strategija prevedeno je ukupno sedam tekstova, od kojih tri švedska te četiri hrvatska izvornika, a prevedeni su shodno tome na hrvatski i švedski jezik. Svaki od tekstova na jedinstven način predstavlja švedsku, odnosno hrvatsku kulturu, običaje i tradiciju. Ovaj diplomski rad usmjeren je k analizi prijevodnih strategija kulturnospecifičnih elemenata u turističkim tekstovima, novinskim te znanstvenim člancima, web stranica i obradi nastavnih materijala, s naglaskom na specifičnosti prijevodnih strategija za svaku od nabrojanih vrsta tekstova.

Cilj ovog rada bio je istražiti koje su prijevodne strategije najprikladnije za prevođenje kulturoloških i sociokulturnih pojmova s hrvatskog na švedski i obratno. Istraživanje se temeljilo na Pedersenovoj taksonomiji, odnosno sedam prevoditeljskih strategija, od kojih je šest korišteno u prijevodima i analizi. Detaljnim pregledom prijevoda utvrđeno je da znanstveni tekstovi ne obiluju prijevodnim problemima kao tekstovi pisani za širu publiku pa stoga kao prevoditelj nisam imala toliku slobodu prevođenja s obzirom da znastveni tekstovi slijede određena pravila, a istovremeno se prevodi s pretpostavkom da je prosječni čitatelj više informiran o temi. Rezultati analize pokazali su da su najčešće korištene strategije pri prevođenju vezanom uz temu rada specifikacija i supstitucija.

Abstract (english)

This master’s thesis deals with the topic of translation of socio-cultural elements present in Swedish and Croatian texts related to the folklore and traditions of both cultures. Sociocultural aspects of language are an important segment of translation, but at the same time they are a very challenging translation problem. One of the controversial points when translating original texts related to customs and traditions is how to translate the "feeling" that a certain concept carries in the original culture, while preserving the meaning of the text.
Also, the translator determines through analysis whether he will bring the translations closer to the target language and audience or whether he will follow the original without significant interventions with translation strategies. For the purpose of analyzing translation strategies, a total of seven texts were translated, of which three Swedish and four Croatian originals, and they were translated accordingly into Croatian and Swedish. Each of the texts represents Swedish and Croatian culture, customs and traditions in a unique way. This thesis is aimed at the analysis of translation strategies of culture-specific elements in tourist texts, newspaper and scientific articles, web pages and the analysis of teaching materials, with an emphasis on specifictranslation strategies for each of the listed types of texts.

The aim of this paper was to investigate which translation strategies are most suitable for translating cultural and sociocultural concepts from Croatian to Swedish and vice versa. The research was based on Pedersen's taxonomy, that is, seven translation strategies, six of which were used in translations and analysis. A detailed review of the translation found that scientific texts do not contain as much translation problems as texts written for a wider audience, so as a translator I did not have as much freedom while translating, given that scientific texts follow certain rules, and at the same time, they are translated with the assumption that the average reader is more informed about the subject . The results of the analysis showed that the most frequently used translation strategies for this specific thesis topic are specification and substitution.
