Study and Translation of Communicative Immediacy in the Novel Ils sont votre épouvante

Abstract

Based upon the concept of «feigned orality», the current paper focuses on analysing the linguistic mediation of orality in Thierry Jonquet’s crime novel, Ils sont votre épouvante et vous êtes leur crainte (2006). This paper will look at the universal elements of the language of communicative immediacy in the phonic, morpho-syntactic and lexical level as employed by the author to re-create the actual speech of his characters. This paper will also provide a Spanish version of the cited novel, rendering all of the elements of the ST in the TT, as well as justifying the translation strategies utilized for solving any problem
