A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS BETWEEN ENGLISH AND KOREAN: “THE LITTLE PRINCE” BY ANTOINE DE SAINT-EXUPÉRY
Main Article Content
Abstract
This interdisciplinary study conducts a comprehensive analysis of spatial prepositions in Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's "The Little Prince" across its English and Korean versions. It scrutinizes the intricate role of these prepositions in conveying spatial relationships, settings, and emotional nuances within the narrative. The research uncovers both shared patterns and disparities in the spatial prepositional systems of the two languages, highlighting the profound impact of translation techniques and cultural adaptation. By examining the translation process, this study transcends linguistic boundaries, offering valuable insights into the complex interplay between language, culture, and literature. Ultimately, it contributes significantly to the fields of linguistics and translation studies, deepening our understanding of the multifaceted dynamics that underlie the translation of literary works across diverse linguistic and cultural landscapes.
