Pragmatic Aspects of the Translation of Slang and Four-Letter Words.

Zauberga, Ieva

Perspectives: Studies in Translatology, n2 p137-45 1994

Offers a historical view of the Latvian language to show ways in which different political realities have affected Latvian vocabulary; for instance, in terms of loan words, and ways in which Latvian perceptions of loans shed light on cross-cultural aspects of translation. Discusses strategies by which Latvian translators have tried to solve these problems in recent translations. (SR)
