Abstract

The aim of this paper is to investigate synonymic collocations in Thomas Hardy’s “Tess of the d’Urbervilles” and their translation into Albanian. Synonymic collocations are first investigated as to their semantic structure and the stylistic function they fulfill in the source text. Then, their Albanian equivalents are analyzed with the aim of comparing them with the expressions in the original in order to see how their semantic structure and their stylistic effects are reconstructed in the translated text.
