Abstract

Abstract

The novel Narcopolis and its translations into German and Polish start with a prologue which consists of one long sentence. The aim of this paper is an analysis of this sentence with the use of a combination of three approaches: (1) the translation theory proposed by Barańczak (1992), (2) the approach posited by M. H. Freeman (2006), and (3) the DIMEAN model by Warnke and Spitzmüller (2008) with the view to check their usefulness for translation criticism and as support in a text analysis preceding translation. In the first step, the conceptual schemata of key importance for the text are sought. Subsequently, language features of key importance which allow for the schemata to materialize are identified in the original and the translation equivalents of these are compared. The results of the analysis indicate that the eclectic approach presented in the paper appears to be quite efficient and user-friendly.
