| Abstract: | This article examines specific translation strategies at work in the transfer of dramatic dialogue from English into Romanian. Based on micro-sequences extracted from translated versions of Tennessee Williams’ plays, the paper sets out to illustrate the case of illocutionary value transfer in order to attain relevant equivalence standards. The focus of the analysis is on direct and indirect structures of directive speech acts (imperatives, future forms, modal instances of “will”, repeated orders with a semiotic function in the dramatic discourse). |
| Key words: | dramatic dialogue, directive acts, imperative forms, indirect orders and requests, illocutionary value transfer |
