Abstract

This thesis comprises five annotated translations, accompanied by a discussion. Three texts were translated from English into Croatian (an excerpt from the book Cultures and Organizations: Software of the Mind, an excerpt from the book A University Education and one text which included three Cochrane Reviews.). Two texts were translated from Croatian into English (an excerpt from the book Društvene igre, and an excerpt from the text Starčevačka kultura na lokalitetu Tomašanci-Palača). The discussion focused on analysing translation solutions proposed by Anthony Pym. The discussion aimed to test whether Pym’s solution could be applied to translation between English and Croatian. In order to carry out such an analysis, concrete examples were used, which were taken from the translations that are part of this thesis. Based on the analysis of the proposed translation solutions with reference to concrete examples, the discussion evaluated to what degree these solutions are applicable to translation between English and Croatian.

Abstract (croatian)

Ovaj se diplomski rad sastoji od pet prijevoda praćenih komentarima te rasprave. Tri su teksta prijevodi s engleskog jezika na hrvatski jezik (ulomak iz knjige Cultures and Organizations: Software of the Mind, zatim ulomak iz knjige A University Education te prijevod teksta koji se sastojao o tri različita Cochraneova stručna pregleda), dok su dva teksta prevedena s hrvatskog na engleski (ulomak iz knjige Društvene igre te ulomak iz teksta Starčevačka kultura na lokalitetu Tomašanci-Palača). Tema rasprave bila je analiza prijevodnih rješenja prema Anthonyju Pymu, tj. cilj je rasprave bio testirate mogu li se spomenuta prijevodna rješenja primijeniti na prevođenje s hrvatskog na engleski jezik i obratno. Kako bi se provela takva analiza, u raspravi su korišteni konkretni primjeri preuzeti iz prijevoda koji su dio ovog rada. S obzirom na analizu predloženih prijevodnih rješenja i konkretnih primjera prijevoda, ovom se raspravom pokušalo procijeniti do koje se mjere prijevodna rješenja Anthonyja Pyma mogu primijeniti na prevođenje u jezičnoj kombinaciji hrvatski-engleski.
