Traduire la métaphore littéraire Entre théorie et pratique

This text focuses on the question of translating metaphors, and insists on the importance of a contextual study of this figure of speech. We begin by sketching out a panorama of the traductological debates in this area before moving on to analyse some examples of deliberate metaphor translation in a literary text, supported by a parallel corpus (two French translations and two Italian translations) of the novel Trout Fishing in America (1967) by Richard Brautigan.
