Résumé
L’appréciation d’une traduction dépend, comme celle du texte original, d’un ensemble de facteurs linguistiques, psychologiques et sociaux dont l’interaction est généralement difficile à appréhender. Dans un premier temps, cet article présente un modèle socio-cognitif intégrant ces facteurs, développé dans le champ de la communication écrite unilingue afin d’expliciter l’articulation des variables qui déterminent la perception de la valeur discursive.
Dans un second temps, il examine l’apport possible de ce modèle à certains problèmes de la traduction, d’abord en envisageant en théorie celle-ci comme un processus multifactoriel de transposition de la valeur des discours, puis en appliquant cette approche à l’analyse de cas de traductions perçues comme défaillantes.
Abstract
The appraisal of a translation, like the appreciation the original text, depends on a set of linguistic, psychological and social factors whose interaction is generally difficult to apprehend. First, this paper presents an integrated sociocognitive model developed in the field of unilingual written communication in order to clarify how the determinants of the perception of discursive value interact.
In a second step, we examine the possible contribution of this model to certain problems of translation, by theoretically considering it as a multifactorial process of transposition of the sociocognitive value of the original text, and then by applying this approach to the analysis of translations perceived as unsatisfactory.
