| dc.description.abstract | This study aimed to examine the suitable translation method in translating conversational
implicatures. Based on Grice’s (1975) Cooperative Principles, 60 conversations that flouted
Grice’s maxims from the novel Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (J. K. Rowling, 1997)
were selected and analyzed. Newmark’s (1988) Translation Methods was used as the theoretical
framework to investigate the use of translation method by Ly Lan in the Vietnamese version of
the novel (Harry Potter và Hòn Đá Phù Thủy). Moreover, based on Nida’s (1964) Dynamic
Equivalent and Chesterman’s (2007) Translation Effect, readers’ reception toward the
translations and the relationship between readers’ majors and their favored translation were also
investigated. The results indicated that the communicative method was used at the highest
frequency by the translator, and the method is also preferred by readers. | en_US |
