La traduzione italiana di Der kleine Volkswirth di Otto Hübner: un’analisi contrastiva

This paper is a first report about a research on the characteristics of the Italian translation of Otto Hübner’s Der kleine Volkswirth (1852), published by the Italian economist Luigi Cossa (1855). The research focuses on the linguistic characteristics of the translation and adopts a contrastive approach. More precisely, the research studies the following aspects of the translation: pragmatic (author, public, medium, situation, function); macro-structural (layout, graphic and iconographic materials, punctuation, character style); paratextual (title, subtitle); lexical (specific words, rhetorical figures); grammatical (parataxis vs. hypotaxis, syntactic typology, typology of secondary sentences, order of constituents, syntactic occupation); and textual (recurrence, verbal morphology, connection, deixis).
