Title Deforming Tendencies in Mustansir Dalvi’s English Translation of Faiz’s Poetry: A Textual Analysis

Author(s) SANA GUL

Abstract The following study intends to analyze the frequent use of deforming tendencies in the English translation of Faiz’s selected poems. Moreover, this research investigates the effect of the deforming tendencies on the target text. To achieve the aims of the study, the researcher takes into consideration the theoretical framework of Antoine Berman presented in 1985. Working in qualitative paradigm of research, the researcher has used textual analysis to examine the data that includes a sample of ten purposely selected poems of Faiz Ahmed Faiz which have been translated by Mustansir Dalvi into English. The researcher has found the instances of deformation in terms of syntax, phonology and semantics. These deformations are the result of domesticating techniques such as exclusion, inclusion, rationalization, etc. A number of instances of deformation have been scrutinized and analyzed by the researcher while employing the textual analysis in inter-lingual way. After taking into account the Model of Deforming Tendencies, the researcher has found out that the translator has adopted many deforming tendencies for making his work worthy and refined. The translator has failed to render appropriately the rhythmic expressions which have resulted in the loss of poetic expressions and meanings. Hence, some suggestions have been presented to deal with the problem of deforming tendencies.
