TRANSLATIONS OF THE NAMES OF MYTHOLOGICAL CREATURES IN J. R. R. TOLKIENS NOVEL HOBBIT AND IN THE FILM

V magistrskem delu je predstavljeno prevajanje poimenovanj mitoloških bitij v romanu J. R. R. Tolkiena »Hobit« in istoimenskem filmu. Namen je opozoriti na pomembnost prevajalčevega poznavanja mitologije in preverjanje že obstoječih prevodov, če le-ti obstajajo, zlasti, kadar gre za dela istega avtorja, književna dela pa so med seboj tematsko povezana. Velika odstopanja smo opazili med prevodi poimenovanj bitij v književnem prevodu in podnapisih filma, predvsem smo prepoznali kontekstualno neustreznost v književnem prevodu. Podrobnejša analiza je pokazala, da je književni prevajalec »Hobita«, Dušan Ogrizek, pri prevajanju poimenovanj uporabljal adaptacijo, medtem ko so prevodi v uradnih podnapisih predvsem sposojenke. V drugem delu magistrskega dela je predstavljena primerjalna analiza uradnih (profesionalnih) in neuradnih (ljubiteljskih) podnapisov filma »Hobit: Nepričakovano potovanje«. Predpostavljali smo, da se bodo največja odstopanja pojavljala v neuradnih podnapisih, predvsem z vidika slovnice in pomena, ustreznost podnapisov pa smo preverili z upoštevanjem standardov za podnaslavljanje. Izkazalo se je, da se v neuradnih podnapisih res pojavlja največ napak, ki so lahko posledica prevajalčevega nerazumevanja izvirnika in neupoštevanje ciljne skupine, ki ji je končni prevod pravzaprav namenjen, tj. gledalcem.In the thesis we focused on the translation of the names of mythological creatures in J. R. R. Tolkien\u27s novel Hobbit and in the film based on the novel. The primary intention of the analysis is to demonstrate the importance of translator\u27s knowledge of mythology and of the existing translations, especially if literary works share the same theme. We noticed substantial differences in translations of names of creatures in literary translation and in film\u27s subtitles, particularly contextually inappropriate expressions in literary translation. A detailed analysis showed that the Slovene literary translator of Hobbit, Dušan Ogrizek, used adaptation for translating names of creatures while in subtitles, a professional translator used mainly borrowed words. In the second part of the thesis we introduced comparative analysis of professional subtitles and fansubs of the film The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. Our hypothesis was that the greatest differences would occur in fansubs, mainly from the grammatical and semantical point of view. We analysed the subtitles according to the subtitling standards. The results confirmed that the fansubs contain more errors. The latter could be the consequence of translator\u27s misunderstanding of the original text and non-compliance to the target group, the viewers
