This paper aims to explore the various types of "translationese” found in English-Korean translation and present useful translation strategies that can be employed to enhance the readability of the target language text. First, this study explores and accommodates the diverse perspectives related to translationese. Based on a clearer notion, this paper looks into the individual types of translationese－translationese related to pronouns, plural endings, and non-animate subjects. This paper will also provide "model translations” so as to suggest ways to keep the target language natural in translated texts. The data that serves as a basis for the explanation is taken from the translation of novels; translationese found in such genre often undermines readability, without which a novel cannot serve its function. The author hopes the research will contribute to triggering further discussion on the study of translationese and to offering guideline for those in the translation profession.
