Abstract
This paper explores the question of what strategies native Croatian speakers would employ in translating into Croatian wordplay from English video clips. A variety of brief video clips with different forms of wordplay were chosen as material for subtitling, all originally in English and requiring a greater or lesser familiarity with anglophone cultures. For the purposes of this paper, wordplay was considered a language-bound part of culture, requiring those familiar with said culture to utilize the language associated with it in creative ways. The respondents varied from undergraduate and graduate students of the English language to speakers without college-level credentials with a working knowledge of English. The respondents were presented with the clips in original English, subtitled to reduce chances of mishearing words, and briefly instructed on how to approach the translation. The results were then analyzed in regards to whether the respondents were familiar with the content, recognized the relevant forms of wordplay, and the kinds of translation strategies which were used to render them into Croatian. The results were then correlated with the respondents’ demographic data and analyzed in that regard.
