Abstract
This study aims to observe different ways of translating wordplay in three translations into Croatian of Lewis Carroll’s Through the Looking Glass. First, the theoretical framework related to the problems of the translation of wordplay is discussed as well as definitions, typologies and terminology used in defining and researching wordplay. The phenomenon of wordplay is then discussed primarily in terms of special problems it presents for translators. One aim of the study is to determine, using Delabastita’s typology of strategies for translating wordplay, which translation strategy is most commonly used in the selected translations . Another aim of the study is to establish whether the wordplay in the TT is of the same type or of a different type than the wordplay in the ST using a modified typology based on Verena Thaler’s definition and typology of wordplay. The findings show that wordplay is translated as wordplay more often than not by all three translators. Translators also more often translated wordplay using the same type of wordplay, with slight differences between the translators observed.
