Translating phraseologisms in comics. The example of an Asterix album

This paper will examine how phraseologisms found in a comic book may be rendered in translation. The database will consist of a comic album from the Asterix series. First, a classification of possible correspondences between phraseologisms in a source and a target language will be proposed; then, the phraseologisms identified in the original and in the German and Italian translations will be analysed from a quantitative and a qualitative perspective; particular attention will be paid to such phenomena as compensation, dephraseologization and defrosting.
