Resumen

De nombreuses études ont porté sur le roman Corazón tan blanco (1992) de Javier Marias, dans le cadre d’approches de narratologie et de critique littéraire. Une ca-ractéristique remarquable de celui-ci est la répétition phraséo-logique. Bien que la répétition a été traitée par des spécialistes dans les travaux de Marías, à ce jour, aucune étude n’a quantifié systématiquement cette caractéristique dans les études de traduction. Cette contribution est basée sur la stylistique et les approches des études de traduction littéraire qui utilisent une méthodologie de corpus pour se concentrer sur l’analyse des caractéristiques linguistiques et suivent une perspective axée sur le texte. On analyse quantitativement et qualitativement la complexité de la répétition phraséologique et, en particulier, des séquences de cinq mots ou plus en tant que caractéristiques de ‘foregrounding’ qui hébergent des fonctions narratives impor-tantes. Les résultats montrent que la traduction anglaise de Jull Costa reproduit sur un pourcentage à peu près égal cette phraséologie et des rendus divergents. L’analyse qualitative de la traduction anglaise tente également de fournir les raisons de certains de ces départs par le traducteur.
