Description
Traductio examines how wordplay exposes the fundamental tensions between languages, forms, and effects in translation work. Puns reveal the instability of meaning across linguistic systems and challenge conventional translation theory by blurring the boundaries between faithful translation and creative adaptation. This collection brings together leading translation scholars and experts who explore how punning tests translators' skills whilst simultaneously questioning established concepts in translation studies. The essays demonstrate that puns activate entire language systems, literary traditions, and ideological frameworks, making them essential to understanding both practical translation challenges and theoretical debates. By investigating the pun's role in translation, this book offers fresh perspectives on semantic equivalence, cultural adaptation, and the limits of linguistic stability.
