The article is grounded in the conviction that linguistic means used to model the authorial “I,” which evade systemic interpretations, are crucial for the autobiography and can be considered its translation dominant. The comparative analysis focuses on the phenomena constructing the narrator’s perspective in the Polish original and the translator’s decisions which resulted in a shift in the French version. The translator’s interference, involving the sentence syntax, inclusive and exclusive forms of pronouns, or the neutralization of the grammatical category of the person (through changed realization of semantic functions or abandoning of non‑finite verbal forms) all modify the narrator’s relation, in the act of writing, to the world of words in statu nascendi but also, primarily, to the factual world of memories.
The paper discusses the phenomenon of explicitation of interclausal cohesive relations in a translation. The study was devoted to adjustments (pertaining e.g. to conjunctions and ellipsis) introduced by Maryla Laurent to her French translation of the novel Wszystkie języki świata [All languages of the world] by Zbigniew Mentzel. Conducted analyses have shown that additions and modifications of cohesive conjunctions are not determined by linguistic asymmetry of the target language, but they comply with the strategy of adapting the translation to meet expectations of the French audience regarding discourse and style.
