Abstract

Colloquial stylization in French‑Canadian minority theatre: The case of Georges Bugnet’s La Défaite and its translation into Polish Recourse to „oralité” in written texts, which is specific to the Francophone communities in Canada, poses a challenge to a translator who needs to reinvent the idiolects in the target language. The aim of this paper is to present translation methods proposed and applied by the translator so as to reproduce in Polish the contrasts present in the original discourse. As stylization is the main strategy used by the Polish translator of Georges Bugnet’s La Défaite, different types of stylization, its methods, purposes as well as the risks of the particular choice of stylization, especially in a context of drama translation, are to be determined and described.
