For the classification and analysis of the data, we also adopted the studies about the cultural domains (NIDA, 1945; AUBERT, 1981, 2006).

The analysis of the translation of cultural markers in the corpus of Hatoum’s novels revealed some trends shown by the translators and the prevailing cultural domains in each novel. Regarding Watson, it was observed that she seems to use more adaptations of cultural markers instead of loans. However, Watson also revealed a preference for the transfer of cultural markers. Gledson tends to use more loans than ...
