Abstract

A poetic cycle is a specific case of poetic contextualisation and for translators this means additional efforts in identifying the micro- and macro-level network of functional and semantic links. Joseph Brodsky’s cycle A Part of Speech represents a highly conceptual approach and strong integration of each and every poem. In this context the paper briefly outlines different types of micro- and macroscopic approaches to poetry translation. Further practical analysis of some translation issues observed in the respective English and Latvian translations show that decisions of poetry translators are informed by different backgrounds in the author-text-reader relationships. Artistic creativity is certainly present in the translation activity but this does not mean that a completely independent target text is produced.

诗歌的循环与超越微观层面的信息——约瑟夫·布罗德斯基《循环一部分》英、拉脱维亚语翻译研究
诗歌循环是诗歌语境化的一个具体例子,对于译者来说,这意味着在识别微观和宏观层面的功能和语义联系网络方面需要额外的努力。约瑟夫·布罗茨基的《言语的一部分》代表了一种高度概念化的方法和对每首诗的强烈整合。在此背景下,本文简要概述了不同类型的微观和宏观的诗歌翻译方法。对英语和拉脱维亚语翻译中所观察到的一些翻译问题的进一步实践分析表明,诗歌译者的决定受到作者-文本-读者关系的不同背景的影响。翻译活动中当然存在艺术创造性,但这并不意味着产生了一个完全独立的译文。

期刊介绍: Research in Language (RiL) is an international journal committed to publishing excellent studies in the area of linguistics and related disciplines focused on human communication. Language studies, as other scholarly disciplines, undergo two seemingly counteracting processes: the process of diversification of the field into narrow specialized domains and the process of convergence, strengthened by interdisciplinarity. It is the latter perspective that RiL editors invite for the journal, whose aim is to present language in its entirety, meshing traditional modular compartments, such as phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics, and offer a multidimensional perspective which exposes varied but relevant aspects of language, e.g. the cognitive, the psychological, the institutional aspect, as well as the social shaping of linguistic convention and creativity.
