Untergetaucht – Clandestina: voices in Nazi Berlin. A sociolinguistic analysis. The article deals with the problems related to the translation of multilingual texts, in which diatopic, diastratic and diaphasic varieties play a key role both in terms of style and characterization of the characters and their milieu. On the basis of the autobiographical work Untergetaucht. Eine junge Frau überlebt in Berlin 1940-1945, which recounts the extraordinary story of Marie Jalowicz Simon, a young Jewish woman who survives underground in Nazi Berlin for three years, the sociolinguistic markedness of the text – whose narrative and dialogues are informed by different varieties of German, including the Berlin dialect – will be investigated according to the levels of analysis and the theoretical-descriptive framework proposed by Schwitalla/Tiittula 2009. The translation strategies adopted in the Italian version in order to render its variegated linguistic repertoire will be then described focussing on substandard elements as well as on the linguistic-textual means used by the author to create the illusion of orality and considered in relation to the criteria set out by Berruto 2010 with regard to the sociolinguistic adequacy of translation.
