Abstract EN:

Self-translation represents a special situation in the field of literature. We have to do, as in the case of Miron Kiropol, Ilie Constantin and Virgil Tanase we have focused on in our present study, with bilingual authors who translated their works by their own. The analysis is preceded by a general view of the Romanian diaspora in France, specific observations concerning bilingualism and a survey of the main features of self-translation. Finally, our last chapter contains a basic dictionary of translation theory terms. The three writers' self translated works underwent important modifications when turning from one language into another, going up to re-writing or re-creating the work. By contrasting their original works with their foreign double we manage to evaluate the dimensions and nature of the discrepancies to be found between the source text (the starting one) and the target one.
