The Onomastic Effect on Cartoon Translation
Journal Title: Söylem Filoloji Dergisi - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
The children spend most of the day by watching cartoons on television. In addition to the native cartoons they watch, there are also many foreign cartoons translated into Turkish. Children often imitate the events they see and the people they love. Hence, it is possible to say that they are influenced by what they see in terms of language and behavior. For this reason, cartoon translation is a topic that needs to be emphasized and scientifically studied more. In this paper, the translation of the names of characters and places in cartoons into the target language is discussed. For this purpose, the proper nouns used in foreign cartoons that have recently been broadcasted on television and cinema, the matter of how they are translated into the target language and the translation methods used for this purpose are scrutinized and exemplified. This research states that there is no specific criterion in the translation of proper nouns in cartoons, some names are localized, some are adapted/translated depending on the meaning and connotation they have, and some are left as they are and lastly, some are ignored.
