Abstract

This article analyses the syntactic structures used to express endearment in Shakespeare’s works and examines how they are rendered in translation. Focusing on Romeo and Juliet and Hamlet, the study subjects words and expressions of endearment to syntactic analysis. It investigates how endearment operates at multiple structural levels—word, phrase, clause, and whole text—and by syntactic function (subject, predicate, attribute, object, adverbial modifier, vocative, and coordinate elements). The paper also identifies the types of grammatical transformation translators employ to convey endearment. The findings demonstrate the importance of preserving emotional and aesthetic impact through syntactic means to achieve equivalence and adequacy in translations of Shakespeare.
