چکیده

Subtitling is a popular modality of audiovisual translation. Yet, subtitles are constrained in time and space. This fact has influenced the strategies used for subtitling different language elements. There is a prosperous literature on subtitling strategies. Many studies have explored the techniques used for subtitling metaphors. However, few researchers have focused on lexicalized metaphors. Lexicalized metaphors are those that have come into common use and most speakers of a language are familiar with them. To fill this gap, the present study aimed to explore the strategies used by Iranian subtitlers in rendering lexicalized metaphors of political interviews into Persian. To this end, a total number of 15 English political interviews with Persian subtitles and 15 Persian political interviews with English subtitles were studied. The source language dialogues were searched for lexicalized metaphors and the found items were compared with the subtitles. Finally, the strategies used for subtitling lexicalized metaphors were classified based on the Pedersen’s list of strategies (2015). The findings revealed that a variety of strategies such as specification, retention, substitution, and paraphrase were used in subtitling lexicalized metaphors. Subtitlers’ use of strategy was influenced by the dominant discourses of the interview parties. Results were discussed and suggestions were made for the future studies.
