إشكالية ترجمة الشعر الشعبي إلى اللغات الأجنبية

Abstract EN

Folk poetry is a form of literary productions.

It is a vital element of the popular memory.

This kind of poetry is perceived as the honest mirror and the main constituent of the national character which reflects the deep historical extension in the popular spirit that experienced the political, social and cultural aspects in a given society.

The orientalists were interested in this form, and they wrote it down by translating it into French, but they disagree when transferring many terms as they neglected most of its components, especially rhythm, weight and rhyme, which are the basis of poetry.

Translating the creative folk poetry faced challenges in transmitting stylistic meanings and linguistic connotations imposed by the distinctive creativity of popular literary.

Hence, we try through this paper to answer the following problematic: What are the main obstacles that constrain the translator of the popular poetic text? Key words: folk poetry, translation, language.
