Abstract:

Today, publishers frequently demand the translators to prepare the page format of the texts they have translated, which indicates that the point of view towards the translational profession has changed. It is necessary for translators to perceive the visual information in the source culture and convey them to the target culture appropriately. For a ‘successful’ translation, transferring only the semantic and syntactic structures correctly is not sufficient and this idea can be given in translation education by the method of literary text analysis. The fact that the subsidiary texts are evaluated contributes to the comprehension process and helps target culture learning. In literary text analysis, the distinction of the author’s deliberate use of stylistic features is crucial. Through this viewpoint, this study will try to reveal the importance of paratext in the translation process. In order to do this, the method of the macro structure analysis will be used in this context. To achieve the aim of the study, the Turkish translation of “Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo,- Christiane F”, that is “Eroin,- Christiane F’in Korkunç Anıları” [Die erschreckenden Erlebnisse der Christiane F.] will be used. The analysis of this text will be carried out by means of “the criteria identifying the different expectations of receptor” (Koller 2004).
