Resumen: This paper investigates the question of whether the classifications and general descriptions of irony, as true as they may seem, are plausible enough for enquiries into areas such as translation. The generic and philosophical analysis criteria provided by the literary criticism, literary theory and pragmatic approaches hover around broad interpretive models of irony. These criteria are impractical for the analysis of irony for translation purposes, although the translation of irony relies essentially on interpretation and creative reformulation. This is particularly the case when dealing with typologically distant languages, such as Arabic and English, in a specific text-type. To be able to "work" with ironic texts there is a need for a more objective and applicable approach, which considers the identification of formal and rhetorical devices of ironic texts, hence a linguistic analysis that explains the communicative function of these devices at both the utterance and discourse structure levels

Resumen: The aim of this paper is twofold. First, it attempts to demonstrate that Arabic utterances involving euphemisms, tautologies and ironies (henceforth Arabic implicatures) lend themselves readily to a Gricean interpretation and, second, it shows how Arabic implicatures in their immediate, social context of use exhibit pragmatic failures when rendered into English. The study examines and analyzes ten Arabic utterances involving implicatures in their original contexts of situation taken from Mahfouz's (1947) Ziqaqal-Midaq which was translated by LeGassick (1966) into 'Midaq Alley', and T?ayib S?aleh?'s (1966) Mawsimu al-Hijra ila ashShamal, which was rendered by Davies (1969) into 'the Season of Migration to the North'. The study argues that to avoid pragmatic failure when translating Arabic implicatures into English, emphasis should be placed on conveying the pragmatic import of these utterances by the employment of various translation strategies ranging from those capturing the form and/or function to those capturing the communicative sense independently.

Resumen: One of the trickiest subjects in the field of translation is the translation of the style of irony. This is due to the difficulty of spotting and understanding it in the SL text first, and then of finding a possible, good and matchable version of translation in the TL language, that reflects similar stylistic functions and implications in the TL (Le. Arabic here). The delicacy and subtlety of irony, especially when it is culture-based, makes it hard to tackle in translation. Yet it is not an insuperable problem of translation. This article investigates at some length the different definitions given to irony in English language. Then, it discusses its different types in general. Eight of these interchangeable types are singled out, exemplified for in detail and translated into Arabic, with problems of translation being picked up and then solved. The paper is concluded by a framework of translation procedures and steps suggested to help translators overcome the problems of translating the English style of irony into Arabic.

Resumen: El trabajo analiza el tratamiento de la ironía y el sarcasmo en una selección de estrofas del poema El Central de Reinaldo Arenas (1943-1990) y hace algunas consideraciones sobre la traducción al francés de esos textos que fueron gentilmente proporcionados por su destacada traductora Aline Schulman.

Resumen: This paper investigates strategies for the translation of irony in English editorials and feature articles into Arabic. It explores an area that has not been adequately tackled in a linguistic framework either on the individual language analysis level or the translation level.The plan to achieve this consists of five steps: (1) describing lexical, grammatical and rhetorical devices of irony from Arabic and English editorials and feature articles, written in Australia on identical political topics and at the same period; (2) describing the linguistic exponents of the rhetorical devices of irony in English and Arabic; (3) explaining the relation between ironic devices and coherence and text structure; (4) conducting a contrastive analysis based on the findings; and (5) using the findings to suggest strategies for the translation of irony. Several linguistic disciplines and sub-disciplines are invoked for the explanation of the concept of irony, namely, stylistics, discourse, sociolinguistics, behavioural linguistics and psycholinguistics, considering that irony pertains to a 'discourse semantic' field (Van Dijk 1977).
