ABSTRACT Title: Les verbes à particule dans quatre traductions suédoise. Analyse contrastive entre langue source et langue cible. Language: French Author: Annika Holmé University/Department/Year: Linnæus University/School of Language and Literature/2010 In modern French there are no phrasal verbs and the aim of this essay is to analyse what happens to the meaning of French data, when translated into Swedish phrasal verbs. In Swedish there is very often a choice between a phrasal verb and a simple verb, for example starta et starta upp. This is a contrastive analysis based on four different translations from French into Swedish, one of which is technical, one economic, one cultural and one political. In these four translations there were in total 128 examples of a Swedish phrasal verb, or in some cases past participles. Our analysis comprises the following particles (adverbs and prepositions): av, i, ihop, in, ner, om, på, till, upp and ut. We have analysed 43 cases where these particles have occurred. First of all, we define the meaning of the French data (which is not always a verb) and then we define the Swedish translation with a phrasal verb. Next, we compare both meanings, in order to see if the presence of the particle has kept, changed or modified the meaning between source and target text. Finally, we explain the reason behind each translation. Our analysis revealed that the meaning was sometimes made explicit, as in spara in. In other cases, the meaning was intensified, as in driva på. Furthermore, the analysis revealed a difference in levels of style, where in some cases the presence of a particle passed on a more informal style in the target text in comparison to the source text, as in starta upp. Keywords: translation, French, Swedish, phrasal verbs, comparison, meaning, Aktionsart
