Interprétation et traduction de quarante constructions phraséologiques et terminologiques asturiennes (Guatemala) – Un nécessaire retour aux sources conceptuelles
In literary texts the developed ideas are often just a pretext for original discursive creations from certain authors to such an extent that the referential function of the language steps aside to bring out its poetical function. We are basing our argument on some forty examples extracted from seven works in prose by the Guatemalan writer Miguel Angel ASTURIAS in order to put forward different translation (or tradaptation) techniques of phonic and/or semic plays on words taken from Spanish either motivated by link up or based on live metaphors, whether it is about creations or paremic de-fossilizations, or else formal neologisms. The search for a similarity of effect (or a rhetoric equivalent) made possible by adaptation – and even by rephrasing – of the linguistic segments of the matter in hand, will at the best (and the simplest) result in isomorphic, and usually homomorphic, sometimes in heteromorphic translations and, very rarely, in interpretative or free translations. In this way, we can conclude that it is possible that a formal gap, deliberately used by the translator, may prove to be more faithful in spirit to the original text than a simple calque
