De Mons à Bergen De l’intraduisibilité des noms propres

Abstract

This article tackles the issue of the untranslatability of proper names. Since the referent is unique, the proper name associated with it should also be unique and, therefore, untranslatable. The translator can not be satisfied with this commonplace: proper names cannot be artificially separated from the rest of the text and there is no simple treatment of this category, since some proper names have to be modified, while others are preserved in their original form.
