Аннотация

The subject of this paper titled Analysis of translation strategies toward culture- specific elements in the novel Talking It Over by Julian Barnes are the cultural elements that represent a challenge for translators when being translated from the source to the target language. The present paper aims to determine the specific translation processes used in translating culturally specific elements from English to Serbian. The paper focuses on determining which translation strategies the translator used the most during his translation work. Different types of translation strategies are singled out, retention, specification, direct translation, generalization, substitution and omission. The analysis of the novel “Talking it Over” by Julian Barnes translation shows that the translation processes used are a combination of domestication and foreignization strategies. Finally, the paper identifies those cultural elements that represent a challenge for translators, potential problems and mistakes that occurred during translation.
