초록
Lewis Carroll’s Alice series are filled with distinctive linguistic features such as wordplay and neologism. Two Korean translations of Looking-Glass are analyzed to compare how these devices could be translated. These translations seem to retain the content of the original, despite the difficulties. The translators applied literal translation in most cases, often with additional explanations or footnotes, regardless of the types of wordplay. Further translatability of wordplay was achieved by employing homonymy, homophony and paronymy. In conclusion, the Korean translations has shown that foreignization strategies for translating them are mainly adopted. Consequently, wordplay and neologism in these Korean Looking- Glasses can be easily identified as translations, and the translators’ visibility as well.
Abstract
Lewis Carroll’s Alice series are filled with distinctive linguistic features such as wordplay and neologism. Two Korean translations of Looking-Glass are analyzed to compare how these devices could be translated. These translations seem to retain the content of the original, despite the difficulties. The translators applied literal translation in most cases, often with additional explanations or footnotes, regardless of the types of wordplay. Further translatability of wordplay was achieved by employing homonymy, homophony and paronymy. In conclusion, the Korean translations has shown that foreignization strategies for translating them are mainly adopted. Consequently, wordplay and neologism in these Korean Looking- Glasses can be easily identified as translations, and the translators’ visibility as well.
