Abstract
This thesis is comprised of five translations, accompanied by a discussion. Three texts were translated from English into Croatian, while two texts were translated from Croatian into English. The texts that were translated from English into Croatian are excerpts from Avrum Stoll's Did My Genes Make Me Do It? (And Other Philosophical Dilemmas), Rick Hanson's Hardwiring Happiness: How to Reshape Your Brain and Your Life and from the document Framework for major emergency management. The texts that were translated into Croatian are an excerpt from Tanja Radović's novel Pitanje Nade, the article Sloboda udruživanja pod nadzorom from the web portal Kulturpunkt and excerpts from two other articles from the same portal. The discussion focuses on pragmatic translation strategies as outlined in Andrew Chesterman's Memes of translation. After a brief outline of the role of pragmatics in translation studies, each of Chesterman's strategies is explained and accompanied by examples of their use from the translations.
