Abstract:

Bringing together disciplines such as news translation, media studies,
linguistics and financial discourse, this book addresses the issue of
English-Greek idiom translation in the news press. It adopts a novel
idiom-typology which draws its main concepts from psychology and gives a
detailed description of the idiom-translation strategies employed in the Greek
financial press. More specifically, this book explores the syntactic, semantic
and pragmatic changes that idioms undergo when they are translated and
proposes possible parameters that license a particular idiom-translation
strategy to be used in preference to another. It is suggested that the four
major tendencies dominant in idiom translation, namely idiom adherence,
literalization, deletion and compensation, are determined by syntactic,
semantic, pragmatic, cognitive and textual parameters. On these grounds, a new
idiom-translation model is presented where it is assumed that idiom
translation is genre-sensitive, thus pointing to the context-sensitive nature
of idiom translation expected to influence the translation quality of genres.
