Translating culture-specific items (shown on examples from Bulgarian-Croatian translations)

Tema diplomskog rada su kulturno-specifični elementi u prijevodu i postupci njihova prevođenja. U teorijskom dijelu se definiraju kulturno-specifični elementi, daje se pregled termina koji se koriste za njihovo imenovanje (elementi kulture, kulturne realije, kulturne referencije itd.) i predlaže njihova klasifikacija. Budući da se u teoriji predlažu različiti prijevodni postupci (Pavlović, 2015; Likomanova, 2006) povest će se rasprava o prednostima i nedostacima prijevodnih rješenja. U traduktološkoj analizi prvo će se detektirati kulturno-specifični elementi u izvorniku, a zatim analizirati postupci njihova prenošenja u prijevodnom tekstu. U analizu su uključena dva bugarska romana Misija London Aleka Popova i Propast Vladimira Zareva koje je prevela Ksenija Banović. Cilj rada je ustanoviti koji se postupci koriste, u kojoj mjeri i koji su ishodi i čimbenici konačnog odabira.The topic of this paper is culture-specific items in translation and their translation procedures. In the theoretical part of the paper culture-specific items are defined, it is given an overview of the terms used to name them (elements of culture, cultural realia, cultural references, etc.) and it is proposed their classification. Since different translation procedures are proposed in theory (Pavlović, 2015; Likomanova, 2006), a discussion will be held on the advantages and disadvantages of translation solutions. In the traductological analysis, culture-specific items will first be detected in the source language and then their transmission procedures in the translated text will be analyzed. The analysis includes two Bulgarian novels Mission London by Alek Popov and Decay by Vladimir Zarev, translated by Ksenija Banović. The aim of the paper is to establish which procedures are used, to what extent and which are the outcomes and factors of the final selection
