Less known are his views on translating. In this paper I aim at presenting and discussing his viewpoints as to the definition of translation (with a key discussion of the concept of equivalence), the role of the translator (a model speaker-listener of the target text), and some of the translation strategies he applies in his translational work (original¿s pre-eminence, problem solving, foreignizing, fictionalizing, and semantic networking). I argue that most of Rabassa's stances towards translating can be explained and are still valid within the framework of a modern translation approach. Examples from the English, French, German, Portuguese and Russian translations of García Márquez¿s Cien años de soledad are taken from a multilingual parallel corpus collected by the author of this paper. 2011 artículo científico 0120-338X https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=21922416006 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=219 Forma y Función application/pdf Universidad Nacional de Colombia Forma y Función (Colombia) Num.1 Vol.24 |
