Parataxe, hypotaxe et mécanismes interprétatifs dans la traduction italienne de Trop de chance

In my article, I analyse the syntactic choices operated in Troppa Fortuna, the Italian translation of the French young-adult novel Trop de chance by Hélène Vignal (2007, Rouergue Editions). I insist on the crucial role played by parataxis. The dynamics of interpretation, meant to clarify the intentio operis, involves examining the modes of syntactic organization. In translating Trop de chance a close translation of the paratactic structures featuring the source text seemed to be an essential strategy required to cope with the interpretational challenge of our translational project.
