La toponimia nella narrativa contemporanea polacca tradotta verso l’italiano

Abstract

This paper analyzes different translation choices that translators from Polish into Italian make with regard to place names of eleven novels published recently in Italy (literary works of Stasiuk, Tokarczuk, Pilch, Dehnel, Huelle, Tryzna, Grochola, Musierowcz and Kuczok have been considered within this essay). The first two paragraphs provide general information about methodology of research. Then follows the analysis of different classes of geographical names (street names, hydronyms, mountain names, microtoponyms, macrotoponyms). In the last part of the article three categories of translation errors will be discussed.
