TI  - A Linguistic Analysis of the Literary Translation of Address Forms from English into Turkish
AB  - Address terms and address pronouns (T and V forms) play an important role in the organization of societies and social norms. While translating (the pronoun ‘you’) from English into Turkish the translator has to make a choice between the two alternatives (sen (T)-siz (V)) available in the target language. In this paper the choices of the translator as well as the possible sociolinguistic explanations are dealt with through examples taken from the novel Little Women by Louisa May Alcott and its translation into Turkish, Küçük Kadınlar by Müzehher VA-NU. A comparative and descriptive analysis is carried out taking into consideration how the characters address each other throughout the novel and in the translated work. The questions to be asked in terms of the corpus of data are as follows: a) How do family members address each other? b) How do general acquaintances address each other? c) How do strangers address each other? The first two categories are subdivided as i-close ii-distant. The study aims to provide a better understanding of the norms guiding the translator in the formulation of choices in the process of literary translation using linguistic descriptive and explanatory analysis methods. How the translator makes a choice between two alternatives each time “you” or one of the address terms occur in the source text and the factors affecting the choices are the questions to be answered. As a conclusion, it may be stated that the study served to shed light upon the following; effects of sociolinguistic categories in the choice of T/V forms; effect of relationships between the characters in the choice of T/V forms; the address terms used in English and their translations into Turkish and the effect of these in the choices of T/V forms
