SUMMARY:Conflict in Translation: A Discourse-Pragmatic Study of English\, F
 rench\, and Italian Short Fiction
DESCRIPTION:This project examines the translation of conflict in written fi
 ction. As a central driver of narrative\, conflict has a direct impact on 
 intercharacter relations\, making it a particularly revealing site for cro
 ss-cultural analysis. Drawing on a corpus of short stories and their trans
 lations between English\, French\, and Italian — each language functioni
 ng both as source and target — the study investigates how translators re
 shape the pragmatic force of conflictual discourse. Implementing a qualita
 tive contrastive analysis\, it focuses on key interpersonal cues such as f
 orms of address and character reference\, discourse presentation (i.e. spe
 ech and thought reporting expressions)\, and taboo language. It shows how 
 translators subtly yet actively influence the perception of characters\, r
 elationships\, and intercharacter conflict by modifying appellatives and p
 ronoun (un)markedness\, the illocutionary force and the representation of 
 paralinguistic cues in character interaction\, and the presence of taboo e
 xpressions.
