Isna, framing and translation: Reframing axios and The Guardian coverage of the post-October 7 conflict
This research utilizes framing theory to analyze how the Iranian Students News Agency (ISNA) reshapes news reports originally produced by US and UK sources regarding the Palestinian-Israeli conflict that commenced on October 7, 2023. The study examines a parallel corpus of 81 English-language news articles from Axios and The Guardian, and their Persian translations published by ISNA. After examining the corpus, four major frames were identified: …
Iranian Polyglot genre and its representation in the Persian subtitling for the deaf and hard of hearing (SDH)
Producing polyglot films has turned into a global cinematic trend lately. The Iranian cinema is no exception, and the number of Iranian polyglot films has also increased recently. Therefore, there is a greater need for the systematic analysis of different aspects of multilingualism in audiovisual translation (AVT), particularly in modes like the subtitling for the deaf and hard of hearing (SDH) in which the audiences have limited or no access to …
Translation of Cultural Conceptualizations in War Literature: A Study of Cultural Schemas and Categories in Translation of Iran–Iraq War Literature
Translation of cultural conceptualizations in the war literature seems to be an overlooked area of research both in Translation Studies and cultural studies dealing with war. In this study, we employed the framework of Cultural Linguistics at the heart of which lies the notion of cultural cognition to analyse translation of cultural schemas and categories in four books selected from the genre of Iran–Iraq war literature. The analysis indicated th…

Analyzing translations of culturally-bound expressions in span of Time
Translation of masterpieces of a nation’s classic literature poses great challenges to translators. One of the major challenges is the issue of dealing with culturally-bound expressions (CBEs). In the current study, the researcher aimed at exploring the effect of time-span on rendering Sa’di’s Gulistan. To this end, two English translations by Ross (1823) and Arnold (1899) were studied based on Davies’s (2003) model. She has proposed seven proced…
The representation of multilingualism in dubbing and subtitling for the deaf and hard of hearing (SDH)
Multilingualism serves an important function in the characterization of an audiovisual product; thus, its representation in translations demands scientific attention. The task of rendering multilingualism in translation becomes more complicated when no or limited access to the original audio content is possible. This being so, this study investigates the representation of multilingualism in English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing (SDH)…
Sociolinguistic Analysis of Persian Dubbed Movies
Sociolinguistics has integrated the study of language and society. A sociolinguistic viewpoint in film translation can uncover the maintenance or destruction of stereotypes. To contribute to the sociolinguistic study of film translations, Disney animations Tangled (2010) and Frozen (2013) and their Persian dubbed versions were examined based on Androutsopoulos’s (2012) framework that works on both macro and micro levels of analysis. The results s…
Culture and translation: The case of English and Persian languages
Translation is not merely a mater of linguistics. The major goal of the present paper is to investigate the relationship between ‘culture’ and ‘translation’. To this end, the researcher drew on a corpus from English and Persian languages. The findings indicated that although different languages, like English and Persian, employ different linguistic forms, this variety cannot be considered as a real challenge. Since during the process of translati…
How Three Different Translators of The Holy Qur’an Render Anthroponyms from Arabic into English: Expanding Vermes’s (2003) Model of Translation Strategies
The present paper examines anthroponyms in the Holy Qur'an in three different English translations to shed light on how procedures used by translators can help target-language (TL) readers understand the implied meaning of anthroponyms. In order to conduct the research, the anthroponyms in the Holy Qur'an were isolated and English equivalents were identified. Then Vermes’s (2003) model was applied to the collected data to find answers to the foll…
