This article explores the significance of pragmatics in the translation process of literature. Pragmatics refers to the study of how speakers’
attitudes towards linguistic cues impact communication. The translator’s responsibility is to convey the same pragmatic elements from the original text into the translated version. If the translator modernizes the original text, it may result in a low-quality translation, as the pragmatic elements of the original may be lost. The article emphasizes the importance of preserving the pragmatic elements of the original text in the translation process. Regarding the analysis, some of the examples from novels were selected to illustrate how pragmatic features are crucial during the translation process.
