Abstract
The theoretical part gives some of the definitions of translation and audio-visual translation, which is a key term to understand when it comes to translating humor in sitcoms. In Chapter 3 the problem of defining humor is described. Although humor is considered a universal trait, the way people react to it is different as it may not always be with laughter, as people are led to believe. Humor translation comes with many restrictions, such as different cultural background knowledge of the source and target audiences or a specific linguistic feature of one language not found in the other, which will be discussed in the same chapter. In the next chapter Yus`s (2012) parameters for assessing the quality of jokes will be described in detail as they are used in the comments to assess the translation of jokes and instances of humor found in the American sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Yus differentiates between the cultural, semantic, and pragmatic scenario and creates a combination of the three in the form of 16 cases. He points out that although a translation might not preserve a certain scenario that does not mean it is a bad translation. Furthermore, in the comments it will be described how the source text was translated into the target text, and whether the humorous effect has been preserved.
Abstract (croatian)
Teorijski dio predstavlja neke od mnogobrojnih definicija prijevoda i audiovizualnog prijevoda, pojma koji je ključan u razumijevanju prijevoda humora u humorističnim serijama. Treće poglavlje opisuje problematiku definiranja humora. Smatra se kako je humor osobina koju posjeduje svaki čovjek, no način na koji svaki pojedinac reagira na humor je različit te humor ne izazove kod svakog pojedinca smijeh. Prijevod humora ima mnoga ograničenja te će se u istom poglavlju raspraviti o razlikama u poznavanju kulture izvornih govornika i gledatelja za koje je namjenjen prijevod i jezične razlike izvornog jezika i ciljnog jezika. Sljedeće poglavlje detaljno opisuje parametre za procjenu kvalitete šala koje je definirao Yus. Spomenuti parametri se koriste za procjenu kvalitete prijevoda šala i duhovitih događaja u američkoj humorističnoj seriji The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Yus razlikuje kulturalni, semantički i pragmatički scenarij i stvara 16 slučajeva koji se sastoje od kombinacije navedenih scenarija. Ističe kako prijevod koji ne sadržava određeni scenarij nije loš prijevod. Nadalje, u komentarima se opisuje način na koji je izvorni tekst preveden te je li očuvan efekt humora u prijevodu.
