AbstractThe current article primarily aims at analysing the strategies utilised by quintessential translators of F. Villon to render into Spanish the figures of diction and thought that characterise the poetry of the 14th-century author, following the classical classification proposed by Abrams (1953). A second objective is to suggest a set of guidelines on how to translate the figurative use of discourse into a given target-language text. Accordingly, this article will first provide an overview on the most relevant approaches to poetry translation, which especially concern relaying the figurative language of a source into a target-language text. Moreover, it will analyse a set of examples that best illustrate the distinctive use of rhetorical devices by Villon, and will examine the ways to better transforming them into another target language, namely Spanish. Lately, this article will propose a set of translation guidelines for both the figures of diction and thought that permeate his poetry.

Problem Solving Task

Abstract Poems are treated by translators as hierarchical multilevel systems. Here we propose the notion of “multilevel poetry translation” to characterize such cases of poetry translation in terms of selection and rebuilding of a multilevel system of constraints across languages. Different levels of a poem correspond to different sets of components that asymmetrically constrain each other (e. g., grammar, lexicon, syntactic construction, prosody, rhythm, typography, etc.). This perspective allows a poem to be approached as a thinking-tool: an “experimental lab” which submits language to unusual conditions and provides a scenario to observe the emergence of new patterns of semiotic behaviour as a result. We describe this operation as a problem-solving task, and exemplify with Augusto de Campos’ Portuguese translation of John Donne’s poem “The Expiration.”

Résumé On montre qu'il est possible d'appliquer certaines théories de la physique moderne au processus traductionnel. On explique comment les lois de la conservation, la relation d'incertitude, la théorie de la relativité et les formules de Lorentz peuvent s'appliquer à la traduction poétique.

The Comparative Study

<p>This paper makes a comparative study of seven English versions of "<em>Shu Dao Nan</em>" at the lexical, syntactic and textual levels. It carries out an objective quantitative study on the theory, Harmony-Guided Three-Level Poetry Translation Criteria -- "Harmony-Resemblance in Style, Sense and Poetic Conception-Eight Beauties" criteria, to reveal the styles of different translated versions and to provide reference and inspiration for the comparative study of poetry translation.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0629/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
