Abstract

This study examines the translation of the French terms maman and papa by English-language translators from the nineteenth century to the present. Following a comparative analysis of the semantics of the French terms and of their most typical English translations, the authors of the study isolate trends in the translation of these terms through analysis of corpora of French and Quebecois literary texts and their translations.
