Dissertation Abstract:

The thesis combines textual analysis and contrastive linguistics,
clustering around intersected problems and theories of translation (from
Greek into French and English). It has a double objective: a) to update the
concept of connotation, in order to  prove its applicability, especially
for the analysis of literary translation b) to put the concept of
connotation to the test of translation by observing how connotations
constructed on textual networks are transferred from one language into another.

The research is divided into two main parts: theory and analysis. The first
part deals, initially, with theoretical and practical problems of
translation. It also traces a historical background of connotation and
reshapes it within the different fields of Language Sciences (Pragmatics,
Stylistics, Semantics), so as to resituate it into an integrative approach
of Semantics. It shows that connotation despite its controversial status
can be a functional and useful concept for literary and textual approach.

The second part is an essay of textual semantics from a translation and
literary perspective, focusing on plurality of meanings, voices and
interpretations. It takes as corpus Kazantzakis's novels and more precisely
'The Last Temptation of Christ, translated into French by M.Saunier and
into English by P.A Bien.
