Investigating aspects of explicitation in some translations of Saʹdiʹs Golestan based on a parallel corpus

The present study aims to test Explicitation Hypothesis using a parallel one- directional Persian-English corpus. To this end, ten anecdotes selected randomly form Saʹdiʹs Golestan and their three English translations extracted from Gulistanʹs translations by Edward Rehatsek (2004), Edward B. Eastwick (1979), and James Ross (1890) were studied. The anecdotes and their translations were compared sentence by sentence to investigate aspects of explicitation and extract the explicitation cases using Klaudyʹs (2004) typology. The findings of the study confirmed the Explicitation Hypothesis and showed that all types of explicitation, namely obligatory, optional, pragmatic, and translation-inherent were used by the translators, with the obligatory explicitation having the highest frequency.
