Abstract

This paper explores interpreting strategies used by TV interpreters to render English proper nouns (PNs) into Arabic during King Charles III's speeches. A qualitative and quantitative approach analyzed PNs categorized by Särkkä (2007) – central (CPNs), extended (EPNs), and descriptive (DPNs) – and their Arabic renditions by three TV interpreters. Results, based on Kalina's (1992) strategy typology, show frequent use of emergency strategies like omission (especially with CPNs) and compression (mostly with DPNs). Transliteration was common for CPNs, while transliteration plus translation dominated for EPNs.
