AN IMAGE OF AUSTRALIA IN SERBIAN TRANSLATION:
THE CASE OF HENRY LAWSON
Nataša Karanfilović
Faculty of Philosophy, Novi Sad
The paper offers a critical analysis of Lawson's short stories which have
been translated into Serbian. His stories are not analysed one by one but
several levels of analysis have been proposed (lexical, grammatical and
phonological) within which possible problems have been defined and their
solutions discussed and commented on. The greatest attention is given to
the lexical level of analysis where Peter Newmark's categorisation has
been applied and cultural words grouped into five categories as follows:
1) ecology, 2) material culture, 3) social culture, 4) organisations, customs,
activities, procedures, ideas, and 5) gestures and habits. Furthermore,
the conducted analysis opens the ground for reflections on the impact of
translations on the image of Australia and its culture they create for
Serbian readership.

SLIKA AUSTRALIJE U SRPSKOM PREVODU:
SLUČAJ HENRIJA LOSONA
Rad daje pregled objavljenih prevoda priča Henrija Losona na srpski jezik,
a zatim kritički analizira prevode sa nekoliko aspekata (leksika, gramatičke
strukture i fonetika). Najviše pažnje posvećeno je leksičkom nivou
analize, kao najzahtevnijem na polju kulturoloških termina. Prema kategorizaciji
Pitera Njumarka kulturološke reči su grupisane u pet kategorija: 1) ekologija,
2) materijalna kultura,
3) društvene tekovine, 4) organizacije, običaji, aktivnosti, protokoli,
ideje i 5) gestovi i navike.
