چکیده مقاله :
The present study aimed to shed light upon the differences of social practice of Persian translations of The Girl You Left Behind written by Jojo Moyes (2012) with original text in English based on Fairclough's (1995) model. In this regard, through a careful analysis of the source and target texts, English social prac- tice instances were selected along with their Persian equivalents as the corpora of the study to investigate the differences between the grammatical and lexical features of the social practices. The English and Per- sian social practices were analyzed and compared in accordance with Fairclough's (1995) framework. The results showed that the translators manipulated the social practice of the target texts by exercising their ideologies through applying their grammatical and lexical choices that led to ideological manipulation in the translations. In addition, the results revealed that autonomous creation has been the most frequently observed strategy, which can be interpreted as the common tendency among translators to resort to creat- ing an equivalent.
پژوهش حاضر با هدف روشن کردن تفاوتهای عملکرد اجتماعی ترجمه های فارسی دختری که رهایش کردی نوشته ی جوجو مویز (2012) با متن اصلی به زبان انگلیسی بر اساس مدل ( Fairclough 1995) است. در همین راستا، از طریق تجزیه و تحلیل دقیق متون مبدا و مقصد، نمونه های انگلیسی عملکرد اجتماعی به همراه معادل فارسی آنها به عنوان تحقیق به منظور بررسی تفاوتهای بین ویژگیهای گرامری و لغوی عملکرد اجتماعی انتخاب شدند. عملکردهای اجتماعی انگلیسی و فارسی مطابق چارچوب( Fairclough 1995) مورد تجزیه و تحلیل قرار گرفت. نتایج نشان داد که مترجمان با اعمال ایدئولوژی های خود از طریق اعمال گزینه های گرامری و واژگانی خود که منجر به دستکاری ایدئولوژیکی در ترجمه ها شده اند، عملکردهای اجتماعی متون مقصد را دستکاری می کنند. و همچنین نتایج نشان داد که خلق خودمختار بیشترین استراتژی مشاهده شده است که می توان آن را به عنوان گرایش مشترک مترجمان به توسل به خلق معادل آن تفسیر کرد.
