The book takes a pragmatic/semiotic approach to reallife translating for the stage and screen, with a view to showing the potential of systematic linguistic analysis to reveal aspects of meaningmaking. Functionalist, interpretive and critical perspectives merge to describe shifting aspects of phenomena in acculturating Pinter, Shakespeare, Wilde, Leonard, Shaw, Austen etc., in the second half of the 20th century, for the Greek stage and/or screen. The book tackles the rendition of politeness in staging Pinter, the implementation of narrative perspectives in stage and screen versions of Hamlet, the rendition of semantic oppositions for humour generation across versions in A Midsummer Nights Dream, the rendition of subcultural linguistic variety in Shaws Pygmalion on stage and screen, target identity inscription in versions of Wildes The Importance of Being Earnest and Leonards Da, the rendition of phenomena in subtitling and dubbing The Hunchback of Notre Dame animation film for the young, and the similarities between translation and cinematic adaptation of Austens Sense and Sensibility and Hislops The Island. An awareness of specificities in the treatment of linguistic phenomena is expected to inform the agenda of what is to be further explored in Translation Studies.
