Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Malcolm Lowry’nin Under the Volcano adlı romanına damga vuran ve Konsolos olarak anılan başkarakterin zihinsel biçeminin 1974 ve 1989 yıllarında yapılan iki Türçe çeviriye nasıl aktarıldığını incelemektir. Bu nedenle, çalışmada, yazın metinlerindeki dil kullanımlarını bilişsel süreçlerin ışığında ele alan bilişsel biçembilim temel alınarak, zihinsel biçem kavramının çeviribilim için önemi vurgulanmaktadır. Bu bağlamda, başkarakterin zihinsel biçemini öne çıkaran diyaloglar ve serbest dolaylı anlatımların roman ve çevirilerde incelenmesi ile birlikte, çevirilerde yapılan biçemsel tercihlere ışık tutulmaktadır. Çalışmada, ayrıca, incelenen eserin modernist roman özelliklerini taşıması nedeniyle, çevirilerin yapıldığı yıllarda Türk yazın dizgesinde modernist roman türünün durumu mercek altına alınmaktadır. Sonuç olarak, iki çeviride de -birbirinden farklı düzeylerde de olsa- kaynak metnin biçemsel özelliklerinin gözetildiği, ancak başkahramanın zihinsel biçeminden kaynaklanan anlatım bozukluklarının ve anlam bütünlüğünü bozan ifadelerin erek metnin okunabilirliğini tümüyle olumsuz etkilediği durumlarda düzeltildiği gözlemlenmiştir.

A cognitive stylistic analysis of the Turkish translations of Under the Volcano

Abstract

This study seeks to analyze the mind style of the protagonist Consul in the two Turkish translations of Malcolm Lowry’s Under the Volcano, carried out in 1974 and 1989, respectively. Emphasizing the importance of cognitive stylistics for translation studies, the study scrutinizes the free indirech speech and dialogues that mirror the protagonist’s mind style in the Turkish translations. Given that Under the Volcano is a modernist novel, the study also sheds light on the position of the modernist novel in the Turkish literary sytem, considering the period in which the two translations were released. Ultimately, the study highlights that the two translations attempt to reproduce the protagonist’s mind style through differing lexical and syntactic strategies. The study also finds that the translations, albeit to varying degrees, tend to smooth out the stylistic features that totaly disrupt the reading process and deviate from the Turkish grammatical structure.
