Abstract	The aim of this paper is to determine whether the Croatian translation of Forrest Gump by Božica Jakovlev is a domesticating or a foreignizing translation. This will be accomplished by identifying the culture-specific items (CSIs) in relation to potential source areas of CSIs and then analyzing the translation procedures for rendering CSIs which will lead to establishing whether the target text (TT) is a domesticating or a foreignizing translation. The paper focuses first on providing an overview of the book by familiarizing the reader with the plot of the novel, and by introducing the unique character of Forrest Gump. Chapter 3 elaborates on the theoretical preliminaries in the paper such as defining culture in terms of levels and models, explaining the role of culture in translation, defining the term cultural mediator, the relationship between culture and language, and the complexities of translating literary prose. In Chapter 4, the focus shifts to the methodological part of the study defining smaller units in language known as culture-specific items (CSIs) and the main areas in which they occur, explaining terminological differences between translation strategies and translation procedures, and finally, presenting the consolidated taxonomy of translation procedures for rendering CSIs in the Forrest Gump novel. Results of the study are presented and discussed in Chapter 5.
