Considering the common ground in proverbs across languages, it is of utmost importance to focus on differences and similarities across languages with a comparative approach to understand the cultural affinity between languages. This study mainly focused on the comparative analysis of Interlingual English-Turkish proverbs in terms of their association in translation. The proverbs under scrutiny were selected from the list proposed by Mieder (2004) under the name of proverbs used with high frequency in the United States. Among seventy-five proverbs, twenty-two (22) of them were selected for the Turkish-English equivalency analysis to indicate their level of equivalency in two distinct levels as highly equivalent and roughly equivalent. The selected proverbs were juxtaposed to render the similarities and differences in their form and meaning. Turkish proverbs were also crosschecked from a Turkish proverb dictionary and an official Turkish dictionary website for validity. Moreover, the literary and literal meanings of the proverbs were rendered in English and Turkish to disclose their semantic components. The equivalency analysis was maintained according to the Reconceptualization Hypothesis put forward by Lewansdowska-Tomaszczyk (2010). As suggested by the hypothesis, the distance between the source language and the target language widens as the number of re-conceptualization operations increases. In other words, when applied in translating proverbs across languages, equivalency is attained at the maximal level when the sense employed for the construction of proverbs is low, whereas equivalency is rough as the sense … |
