    The document discusses Gideon Toury's framework for analyzing how metaphors are translated from a source text to a target text. The framework includes 6 procedures for translating metaphors: 1) translating a metaphor into the same metaphor, 2) into a different metaphor, 3) into a non-metaphor, 4) omitting the metaphor, 5) translating a non-metaphor into a metaphor, or 6) adding a metaphor where there was none. The document instructs the reader to analyze examples of a source and target text, identify metaphors, and determine which translation procedure was used according to Toury's framework.

    TRADUCCIÓN LITERARIA / Unit 2 Marta Mateo

    TRANSLATING METAPHOR
    Gideon Toury's framework for the study of metaphor and/in translation (1995: 81-84):
    1. Metaphor into 'same' metaphor
    2. Metaphor into 'different' metaphor
    3. Metaphor into non-metaphor
    4. Metaphor into Ø
    5. Non-metaphor into metaphor
    6. Ø into metaphor
    Analyse the following source and target texts and identify as many metaphors (i.e. instances of figurative speech) as possible in them. Then consider:
    a) What significance does the metaphor have in the source text? Is it purely ornamental or does it contribute significantly to the meaning and overall
    effect of the text? Is it an isolated metaphor or a recurrent one?
    b) According to Toury's framework, which procedure has the translator followed in each case?
