Jezik severnoameriške pop kulture v slovenskem podnaslovnem prevodu: Scott Pilgrim proti vsem

Subtitling is a specific translation activity that demands a particular set of skills and knowledge. Translating for film and television requires the translator to focus on unique features and constraints of subtitles in addition to an already lengthy list of obstacles that have to be overcome when translating for a different culture. This paper discusses various characteristics, standards, and methods of subtitling. The movie Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is used as an example to showcase the challenges a translator faces, not just technical, but linguistic and cultural as well. I analyze rhetorical devices, culture-specific elements, register, and also give special attention to the colloquial uses of the word like, specifically its function as a quotative and as a pragmatic marker. In these categories I comment on the translation decisions made in the official subtitles for the theatrical release, and in some instances compare them to the solutions employed in the amateur subtitle translation found online. Where no suitable translation is used in either, I provide suggestions that better follow the guidelines of translation and subtitling theories.Podnaslavljanje je posebna prevajalska aktivnost, ki zahteva svojevrstne veščine in znanje. Pri prevajanju za filmske in televizijske vsebine se mora prevajalec osredotočati na edinstvene značilnosti in omejitve podnaslavljanja ob že tako obsežnem spisku ovir, ki jih mora premagati pri prevajanju za drugo kulturo. Ta naloga predstavi različne karakteristike, standarde in metode podnaslavljanja. Na primeru filma Scott Pilgrim proti vsem predstavim tako tehnične kot jezikovne in kulturno-pogojene izzive, s katerimi se mora prevajalec soočiti. V nalogi analiziram besedne figure, kulturno-pogojene elemente in register, posebno pozornost pa namenim tudi pogovorni rabi besede like, natančneje v funkcijah citatne besede in mašila. Znotraj teh kategorij komentiram prevajalske odločitve v uradnih podnaslovih za kinematografsko predvajanje ter nekaj teh primerjam z rešitvami, uporabljenimi v amaterskih podnaslovih, najdenih na spletu. V primeru, da v obeh prevodih rešitev danega problema ni najbolj primerna, predstavim predloge, ki bolje sledijo smernicam teorij prevajanja in podnaslavljanja
