Polish (sense of) humour in Spanish reality: play on words (puns) in Andrzej Sapkowski's "Last wish" as translated by José María Faraldo
Abstract
The translation of humour is a challenge. It requires the accurate decoding of a humorous
speech in its original context, the transfer of that speech in a different linguistic and cultural
environment and its reformulation in a new expression, which recaptures the intention of the
original message. The actual work attempts to present the nature of puns, which constitute one
of the manifestations of humour in the literature, in its linguistic and cultural dimension. The
study is based on a comparative analysis of examples of puns from Ostatnie życzenie of
Andrzej Sapkowski and its Spanish translation. The results are compared in terms of
equivalence in linguistic, stylistic and cultural properties to show a risk of loss of the
transtextual and transcultural elements and the way of recompensing these elements by
substitution, amplification and other rhetorical techniques.
