Résumé

HUMOUR IN TRANSLATION STUDIES

Humour, manifesting itself at different semiotic levels of a text, is considered to be one of the most common translation challenges. However, previous studies dealing with translation of humour mainly consist of various aspects of translating humorous phenomena expressed themselves especially at the linguistic level. The aim of the article is to present the most important linguistic theories of humor structural isotopy, semantic theory of scripts, the general theory of verbal humor, humor seen as a violation of the conversational maxims or as the game with implicatures, as well as some observations in the field of translation studies, and subsequently to develop describing tools for the translation of humorous phenomena in audiovisual texts.
