Λογοτεχνική Μετάφραση και Ηλεκτρονικά Σώματα Κειμένων: Η απόδοση της λαϊκής αργκό σε τρεις ελληνικές μεταφράσεις του μυθιστορήματος L’Assommoir του Émile Zola

In this article we propose to study the different ways in which three Greek translators have dealt with popular slang in Émile Zola's L'Assommoir. More precisely, using tools and methods used in CALT (Computer Assisted Literary Translation) and Translational Stylistics, we will examine the translation of popular slang drawn from the semantic field of alcohol, in the speech of three characters of the novel (Coupeau, Mes-Bottes, Bec-Salé/ Boit-Sans-Soif). Starting from the observation that popular slang is not only a central stylistic element of the novel but also an essential aspect of the very identity of the text, closely linked to the literary techniques practiced by the author, we try to identify the main techniques adopted to translate popular slang into Greek. Our main aim is to distinguish the strategies of the translators (in terms of their position on the domestication-exoticization continuum proposed by Venuti) and to put the translations in perspective with respect to the socio-cultural conditions and the initial norms (appropriateness or acceptability according to Toury) that govern the act of translating in each given period
