| Résumé: | Formation of translation theories as a scientific discipline in Russia and basing literary translation phenomenon on a scientific ground for the first time date to 1920’s. After this period, different points of view and approaches have taken place in the translation world. Translation studies, which started with a formalist approach in Russia, made significant progress in the 1950’s thanks to Ya. İ. Retsker and A. V. Fedorov. Translation theories, put forward by these two scientists against realist translation theory, are grammar-based approaches and posterior translation theories improved in this direction. These mentioned scientists, studying especially on literary translation, laid emphasis on structural and functional conformity/disconformity among languages. Approaching to translation of theater scripts, maintaining their importance for centuries, from grammatical perspective, is a method enabling disclosing richness of these scripts. Because these literary works, written to be read and staged, are one of the literary genres, based on dialogues and transfer of communication and emotion. In this study, one of the important names of realistic theater Anton Chekhov’s “The Cherry Orchard” play, translated into Turkish many times and continuously staged in theatres, is examined through two different translations into Turkish within the frame of Russian grammatical translation theories. Which strategies are preferred in the translation of cultural reals and idioms and how structural and functional differences between the target language and source language are analyzed in translated texts of “The Cherry Orchard” play, are studied in this article. |
