Free Indirect Discourse in Farsi Translations of Woolf\u27s Mrs. Dalloway

In their article Free Indirect Discourse in Farsi Translations of Woolf\u27s Mrs. Dalloway Zohreh Gharaei and Hossein Vahid Dastjerdi discuss the degree to which free indirect discourse is reproducible in Farsi translations of Virginia Woolf\u27s Mrs. Dalloway. Gharaei and Vahid Dastjerdi\u27s analysis reveals that while it is possible to employ free indirect discourse in Farsi, the grammatical features of the technique represent the most problematic areas of translation to Farsi. Although some studies have attributed deviations from the style of the original writer to the structural differences between Farsi and English or domesticating strategies on the part of the translator, Gharaei and Vahid Dastjerdi reject such argumentation and establish the fact that imported narrative features have been in use in Farsi novels and that thus they cannot be considered alien to Farsi
