چکیده (انگلیسی):

The article investigates several Arabic translations of Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Framed by
Warren Weaver’s book Alice in Many Tongues, the article locates the five problematic aspects which are: the parodied
verses, the puns, the nonsense words, the jokes that involve logic, and Carroll’s twist of meaning.Through a critical
comparative reading and analysis of Carroll’s original work, The Nursery Alice, and the different Arabic translations,
the article illustrates how some cultural and linguisticconstraints in the Arab world have preventeda faithful translation
of Carroll’s work and thus limiting it to a solely plot-oriented one. With reference to selected examples from Carroll’s
work, the article ends up with givingsome suggestedsolutions for these five problematic translationareas.
