Derviš Sušić is undoubtedly one of the most versatile writers of the 20th century Bosnia and Herzegovina. His opus, characterised by a peculiar stylistic expression contains metaphors that make the storyline, otherwise set in a certain historical period, timeless, i.e., ever-current and again-enlightening. This paper aims at analysing metaphors in the translation of Sušić’s novel Uhode, published in English in 2017 by the Academy of Arts and Sciences of Bosnia and Herzegovina as Spies. The methodological framework applied is Lakoff and Johnson’s linguistic approach, whereby the source text and the translation are compared within their source and target domains. In that sense, translatability, i.e. the possibility of achieving the identical content of the source and target domains in the translation is observed within Newmark’s model of translation strategies.
This paper contains an analysis of the selected scenes from the play Krokodil Lacoste / Silvertown by Zlatko Topčić. The play won the “Alija Isaković” award in 2010, while the Cultural Association of Bosniaks Preporod published its dual Bosnian and English edition in 2016. The segments are analyzed parallelly in Bosnian and English for the purpose of observing the level of functional equivalence in the target text. The analysis entails extralinguistic and linguistic categories in accordance with the model developed by Hatim and Mason (1990) and later expanded by Zhang et al. (2015). The extralinguistic category includes, among others, the culture-translation relationship, and the linguistic category entails three dimensions: communicative, pragmatic, and semiotic. The analysis in this case includes the communicative and semiotic components.
