Abstract:

Phraseological units notoriously pose challenges for both translators
and language learners. However, the presence and nature of
phraseological units in lower language proficiency levels have
received very little attention. Could Children’s Literature contribute
to identifying a core phraseological inventory? Both authors and
translators of children’s books base their linguistic choices, and
their phraseological choices specifically, on the assumptions they
have of the still limited linguistic, phraseological, and cultural
knowledge of their young receivers.

This dissertation investigates Dutch and Italian phraseology in
Children’s Literature. In the first part, theoretical aspects
concerning Phraseology, (Contrastive) Linguistics, Translation Studies
and Children’s Literature are addressed, as well as methodological
issues regarding the empirical studies presented in the second part of
this work. The detailed contrastive, bidirectional analysis of
phraseological units and their translatants (original Dutch ↔
translated Italian), including the mapping of similarities and
differences between phraseological inventories, and the examination of
the translational equivalence between phraseological units and their
translatants, have offered numerous intra- and interlinguistic
insights.
