Crossing the borders. Problems of curses and vulgarisms translation
In this article the problem of taboo words, defined as curses and vulgarisms, appearing and translating is analysed. The source of investigated taboo words is Vedrana Rudan’s novel titled Uho, grlo, nož and its Polish translation Ucho, gardło, nóż. It’s surprising and interesting that the investigated discourse is basically character’s idiolect — woman’s idiolect. The analysis describes the types of taboo words and expressions and presents various methods of their translation. It proves that vulgarisms occur in the Croatian text more frequently and in the Polish one they are in most cases euphemized or ignored.
Key words: vulgarism, taboo, translation, equivalence, Vedrana Rudan.
