Irony Transmission in Comic Books Translation
Journal Title: Journal of Science and today’s world - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 6
Abstract
The evidence from a variety of studies showed that irony processing poses a metacognitive demand on recipients such as hearers, readers, translators than its literal equivalent due to its culturally dependent recognition; so this indicates that it requires pragmatic contextual evaluations of the utterance. The comics are specific frequently used literary utterances and artistic form whose their unique traits are often neglected and they are rarely translated in Iran. They are based on the interaction of binary system of speaker/hearer, writer/reader, translator and target reader and in an ironic utterance it is also between ironist and victim. This study aims to show the usefulness of pragmatics for verbal irony in Comics. To doing so, the researcher designs a research model and a translator's strategy to analyze the translations of verbal irony in "a confederacy of dunces".
