Abstract
Language serves as an essential tool for conveying complex actions, thoughts and dynamics among people. Analyzing the language is already a challenge if it is done in the source text language, but the real obstacle is to successfully do it in the target text language. Furthermore, this is what the process of translating is for, especially for the case of subtitling. Each translator must put in the effort to overcome all of the obstacles in the language barrier in order to transmit the complete message to the viewer, while staying loyal to the original meaning. Figurative language is one of the challenges that every translator deals with in his work because it is of great importance to accurately translate the interplay between language and culture. This thesis aims to effectively analyze the use of one of the concepts of figurative language, metaphorical expressions, as well as their translation in the TV series called Gossip Girl. The given examples provide a comprehensive understanding of underscoring the value of these metaphors, particularly in terms of emotional resonance, construction of characters’ reality and highlighting the difficulties of preserving the meaning of the expressions.
Abstract (croatian)
Jezik služi kao ključno sredstvo u prenošenju složenih radnji, misli i dinamike među ljudima. Analiza jezika nije jednostavna ni na izvornom jeziku govornika, a nedvojbeno je izazovno analizirati jezik na ciljnom jeziku teksta. Štoviše, to je svrha procesa prevođenja, posebno kada je riječ o titlovanju. Svaki prevoditelj mora uložiti određeni napor kako bi prevladao sve jezične barijere i uspješno prenio cjelovitu poruku gledatelju, dok pri tome ostaje vjeran izvornom značenju. Figurativni jezik jedna je od tih prepreka s kojim se svaki prevoditelj susreće u svome radu jer je od iznimne važnosti točno prevesti međusobnu povezanost između jezika i kulture. Cilj je ovoga rada učinkovito analizirati upotrebu metaforičkih izraza, jedne od vrsta figurativnog jezika, kao i njihov prijevod u TV seriji Tračerica. Navedeni primjeri pružaju sveobuhvatan uvid u razumijevanje vrijednosti tih metafora koje se ističu, osobito u smislu emocionalnog značenja, konstruiranje zbilje likova i naglašavanja poteškoća u očuvanju značenja izraza.
