Abstract

The paper compares different Czech translations of the short stories by Guy de Maupassant Ivrogne and Le Vieux. It focuses especially on the way how the colloquialisms in Maupassant's dialogues were translated into Czech.

The stylistic analysis of several passages is followed by general description of methods used by translators from the end of the 19th century till the 1960's.
