Abstract
In 25 years since it was first published, the Harry Potter series by J. K. Rowling has become globally successful, especially among young audiences, and the name Harry Potter has become a household name. Although the story is the same in every country and every language on the planet, translators’ approaches to dealing with these texts, specifically with culture-specific elements they contain, differ from one language to another. Croatian and Czech are no exception to this. Although Croatian and Czech can be said to be close languages, as they are both Slavic languages that can be mutually intelligible, the translators’ approaches to the translation of proper names and neologisms in the Harry Potter series differ. The aim of this thesis is to establish to what extent and in what respect the approaches to translating proper names and neologisms differ in the Croatian and Czech translations of the fifth book of the series, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. The data that will be analyzed was collected by extracting all anthroponyms, zoonyms, toponyms and neologisms from the English, Croatian and Czech versions of the book. The examples that appeared in the first book of the series, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, were excluded from the analysis as they have already been analyzed in previous theses (Krohová 2011, Markanović 2019, Jurković 2020, Krnjak 2020). Considering the history of purist tendencies in the Czech language, it is hypothesized that the Czech translator, Pavel Medek, decided to translate more proper names and neologisms than the Croatian translator, Dubravka Petrović. It is, therefore, expected that Petrović decided to merely copy these elements, or adapt them to the Croatian language.
Abstract (croatian)
U 25 godina od kada je prvi puta objavljen, Harry Potter serijal autorice J. K. Rowling postao je globalno uspješan, posebice među mlađom publikom, a ime Harry Potter postalo je općepoznato. Iako je priča ista u svakoj državi i jeziku na svijetu, pristupi prevoditelja prilikom prevođenja ovih tekstova razlikuju se od jezika do jezika, a to je posebice vidljivo u pristupima u prevođenju kulturno specifičnih elemenata. Hrvatski i češki pritom nisu iznimke. Iako se može reći da su hrvatski i češki srodni jezici, s obzirom da se u oba slučaja radi o slavenskom jeziku i da se govornici često mogu međusobno razumjeti, pristupi prevoditelja u prevođenju imena i neologizama razlikuju se. Cilj ovog rada je utvrditi kako i koliko se ti pristupi razlikuju u prevođenju vlastitih imena i neologizama u hrvatskom i češkom prijevodu pete knjige iz serijala, Harry Potter i Red feniksa. Podaci koji će biti analizirani prikupljeni su izdvajanjem svih antroponima, zoonima, toponima i neologizama iz engleske, hrvatske i češke verzije ove knjige. Pritom su izuzeti primjeri koji se pojavljuju u prvoj knjizi serijala, Harry Potter i kamen mudraca, s obzirom da su ti primjeri već analizirani u prijašnjim radovima (Krohová 2011, Markanović 2019, Jurković 2020, Krnjak 2020). S obzirom na povijest purističkih tendencija u češkom jeziku, pretpostavlja se da je češki prevoditelj, Pavel Medek, odlučio prevesti više imena i neologizama nego hrvatska prevoditeljica, Dubravka Petrović. Pritom se očekuje da je Petrović odlučila te elemente samo kopirati ili prilagoditi ih hrvatskom jeziku.
Abstract (czech)
Během 25 let od prvního vydání, seriál Harry Potter autorky J. K. Rowling stal se globálním úspěchem, především mezi mladší populací, a jméno Harry Potter stalo se obecně známým. I když je příběh stejný v každé ze zemí a v každém z jazyků, přístup překladatelů k jednání s těmi texty, především elementů specifických pro anglickou kulturu, podle jazyku se liší. To stejně platí i pro chorvatský a český jazyk. I když můžeme říct, že jsou chorvatština a čeština blízké jazyky, vzhledem k tomu, že jsou oba slovanské jazyky a že mohou být vzájemně srozumitelné, přístupy překladatelů k překládání vlastních jmen a neologismů stejně se liší. Cíl této diplomové práce je zjistit kolik a jak se tyto přístupy rozlišují v překládání vlastních jmen a neologismů v chorvatské a české verzi pátého dílu seriálu, Harry Potter a Fénixův řád. Data, která budou analyzována, byla shromažďována získáním všech antroponym, zoonym, toponym a neologismů z anglické, chorvatské a české verze knihy. Přitom byly vyloučené příklady, které se projevují v prvním díle, Harry Potter a Kámen mudrců, protože už byly analyzovány v předchozích písemných pracích (Krohová 2011, Markanović 2019, Jurković 2020, Krnjak 2020). Vzhledem k puristickým tendencím přítomným v českém jazyce v minulosti, předpokládá se, že se český překladatel, Pavel Medek, rozhodl přeložit více jmén a neologismů než chorvatská překladatelka, Dubravka Petrović. Také se přitom předpokládá, že se Petrović rozhodla tyto elementy jenom okopírovat nebo je přizpůsobit chorvatskému jazyku.
