Abstract:
The focus of this research is to investigate the wordplay present in the original version of Alice in Wonderland first written by Lewis Carroll in 1865 and to look for its equivalences in the Spanish versions of the book by Juan Gutiérrez Gili, published in 1927, and Juan Gabriel López Guix, published in 2016. After gathering the data mentioned, the idea is to conduct a study to state how successful has each translator been at transferring the original wordplays into the target language and which are their preferred translation techniques. Finally, this study will conclude by providing potential explanations for their respective choices.
