Translation of Deviant Concepts in Three Persian Translations of the Novel Matilda

This research examines the strategies Iranian translators have employed when rendering social abnormalities from English-language children's and young adult literature into Persian. The study focuses on three Persian translations of Roald Dahl's novel Matilda (1988), analyzing how social abnormalities are translated at the sentence level. The researcher categorized socially abnormal sentences into two main types: verbal abnormalities, including rudeness, threats, and lying, and behavioral abnormalities, including physical abuse and child maltreatment, among others. The study investigates how Iranian translators have addressed these elements across the three different translations.
