L’italiano tradotto dei fumetti americani: un’analisi linguistica

Abstract

This analysis compares the language used in a corpus of comics translated from English into Italian with the language of a corpus of comics originally written in Italian. The starting point is the assumption that the language of comics tends to imitate spoken language. An analysis is conducted at textual, syntactic, morphological and lexical level to identify the registers used in both corpora and establish whether traits emerge which may be related to translation universals.
