Multilingualism has been a critical issue for centuries, since the presence of multiple languages within a single community of speakers represents a challenge to traditional notions of national identity to the extent that sub-national linguistic groups undermine the idea of "one language for one nation" (Meylaerts 227). In Translation Studies, however, multilingualism has received attention recently, since translation scholars began to realize that the treatment of different varieties of a language might represent an (im)balance of power among the language varieties. This study compares the representation of dialect in original and translated novels in the Italian/English language pair in order to determine the general norms for treating multilingualism in translation and the political implications of those norms. In other words, is linguistic heterogeneity of the source texts (ST) homogenized in the target text by adopting the standard variety, or is this heterogeneity preserved, and if so, how? Moreover, this study analyzes whether the strategies adopted by translators vary depending on the time period and the socio-political context during which the novels and the translations were published.

520 $a Multilingualism has been a critical issue for centuries, since the presence of multiple languages within a single community of speakers represents a challenge to traditional notions of national identity to the extent that sub-national linguistic groups undermine the idea of "one language for one nation" (Meylaerts 227). In Translation Studies, however, multilingualism has received attention recently, since translation scholars began to realize that the treatment of different varieties of a language might represent an (im)balance of power among the language varieties. This study compares the representation of dialect in original and translated novels in the Italian/English language pair in order to determine the general norms for treating multilingualism in translation and the political implications of those norms. In other words, is linguistic heterogeneity of the source texts (ST) homogenized in the target text by adopting the standard variety, or is this heterogeneity preserved, and if so, how? Moreover, this study analyzes whether the strategies adopted by translators vary depending on the time period and the socio-political context during which the novels and the translations were published.
520 $a The hypotheses claim that the TTs would show fewer traces of dialect, and would display a more homogenized language. First, I hypothesize that the TT would have a limited ability to `give voice' to minority groups and in so doing to subvert the institutional imposition of a standard language and, at the same time, they reinforce the idea of a nation with the same unified language. Second, I hypothesize that the strategies adopted by the translators are influenced by the social and political context of the target culture in the attempt to meet the needs and expectations of the intended readership.
520 $a The findings from the data analysis confirm the hypothesis regarding the existence of specific patterns governing the translation of dialect in novels when the Italian/English language combination is considered. In contrast, it does not seem that the second hypothesis is confirmed. The data analyzed in this project shows that the socio-political context of the target culture does not influence translators' strategies.
