Monologism in Ghazi's Translation of Don Quixote

With respect to its linguistic and philosophical features, Don Quixote is arguably the first modern novel. This paper examines two major linguistic characteristics of this novel, i.e. linguistic perspectivism and heteroglossia, and the reflection of these attributes in Ghazi’s translation that is admittedly the best Persian translation of the novel. After scrutinizing some of the linguistic features of Don Quixote, such as polyonomasia, as Spitzer puts it, and Sancho’s linguistic errors, and studying the traces of these features in the Persian translation, the writes have concluded that although Ghazi has used Persian skillfully and has achieved a great deal in rendering some of the linguistic games of Don Quixote, he has fallen short of reflecting the multiplicity of voices, which is a manifestation of the multiplicity of truth.
