Divulgación médica y traducción
Este estudio reflexiona acerca de la comunicación en los ámbitos especializados, con referencia al ámbito médico, por su particular idiosincrasia. Propone abordar la caracterización de los textos que transmiten dicha comunicación a partir del concepto de género textual, como constructo que permite definir los aspectos textuales y contextuales que conforman los diferentes actos comunicativos - textos. A partir de la observación de un breve corpus de textos en inglés y en español, se presentan las conclusiones de un análisis empírico-descriptivo del género 'Información para pacientes/Fact Sheet for Patients', representativo del continuum entre la lengua general, la divulgación y la especialidad. Se adopta una metodología mixta, que combina los métodos cuantitativo y cualitativo; y se reflexiona acerca de las repercusiones que determinados aspectos del análisis podrían tener para la traducción.
El género textual y la traducción
El género textual es un concepto cuya utilidad se ha demostrado tanto en la formación de traductores como en la práctica diaria de la traducción profesional especializada. Este volumen reúne diferentes estudios descriptivos y aplicados en Traductología del equipo de investigación GENTT (Géneros Textuales para la Traducción). Propone una explotación de la noción en los ámbitos de especialidad, mediante la aplicación de herramientas electrónicas de análisis de corpus. Las contribuciones representan un avance en la reflexión de los estudios descriptivos y aplicados en Traductología, al explorar las posibilidades teóricas y prácticas del género textual desde diferentes perspectivas.
Linguistic and Translation Studies in Scientific Communication
This volume offers a collection of papers which seek to provide further insights into the way scientific and technical knowledge is communicated (i.e., written, transmitted, and translated) nowadays, not only in the academic sphere but also in society as a whole. Language in science has traditionally been valued for prioritising objective, propositional content; however, interpersonal and pragmatic dimensions as well as translation perspectives are worth exploring in order to better understand the mechanisms of specialised communication. Accordingly, the contributions in this volume cover topics of special interest to scholars and researchers in the fields of linguistics and translation, such as the popularisation and transmission of scientific knowledge via ICTs; terminology and corpus-based studies in scientific discourse; genres and discourse in scientific and technical communication; the history and evolution of scientific language; and translation of scientific texts.
Iberian Studies on Translation and Interpreting
This volume gathers contributions representing the main trends in translation and interpreting studies by authors in the Iberian peninsula, with a focus on the Iberian languages (Basque, Catalan, Portuguese/Galician and Spanish). The essays cover different methodologies and objects of analysis, including traditional textual and historical approaches as well as contemporary methods, such as cultural, sociological, cognitive and gender-oriented perspectives. This seemingly eclectic approach pivots around seven focal points that aim to reflect the most frequent research topics in the Iberian peninsula: (i) theoretical and methodological approaches; (ii) translation and interpreting training; (iii) historical perspectives; (iv) terminology; (v) rapidly evolving fields in the translation and interpreting industry, such as localization and public service interpreting; (vi) translation of literature; and (vii) translation studies journals.
Language for Specific Purposes
This volume brings together work by both well-known scholars and emerging researchers in the various areas of Language for Specific Purposes (LSP), such as political, legal, medical, and business discourse. The volume is divided into three parts in order to align rather than separate three different but related aspects of LSP: namely, translation, linguistic research, and domain specific communication on the web. Underlying all the contributions here is the growing awareness of the ever-increasing multiformity of specialised communication and the ever-wider social implications of the communicative situations in which it is embedded, especially where it involves the need to move across langua...
Corpus-based Translation and Interpreting Studies: From description to application / Estudios traductológicos basados en corpus: de la descripción a la aplicación
The contributions in this volume illustrate some noteworthy tendencies in current Corpus-based Translation and Interpreting Studies: the reflection on the state of research on the characteristics of translated language, the extension of descriptive proposals into minority languages, the diversification of applied proposals and the growing importance of corpora for the study of interpreting. Las aportaciones de este volumen representan algunas tendencias destacables en los actuales estudios traductológicos basados en corpus: la reflexión sobre el estado de la investigación en torno a las características de la lengua traducida, la extensión de las propuestas descriptivas a lenguas minoritarias, la diversificación de las propuestas aplicadas y la creciente importancia de los corpus para el estudio de la interpretación.
Training for Doctoral Research
Following the rapid expansion of translation studies as an emergent (inter-)discipline over recent decades, demand for doctoral research opportunities is now growing fast in many countries. At the same time, doctoral training packages of a generic nature have been elaborated and refined at many universities, drawing on long traditions of doctoral research in established disciplines. A degree of consensus no doubt exists on such matters as the need for rigor, method and the generation of new knowledge. Beyond that, however, there are a host of issues specific to translation and interpreting studies that remain under-researched and under-discussed. Contributors to this special issue encourage ...
Conocimiento y lenguaje
Este manual de lingüística pretende salir al paso de las exigencias que plantean las titulaciones universitarias en el marco de la integración europea. Las nuevas directrices sobre planes de estudios aconsejan la elaboración de textos que faciliten el trabajo autónomo del estudiante, y que sean capaces de ofrecer simultáneamente enfoques teóricos y aplicados de las disciplinas científicas. En este libro los autores aúnan los contenidos tradicionales de la teoría gramatical con las perspectivas de aplicación que requiere, cada vez más, el mercado de trabajo, añadiendo además a cada capítulo ejercicios y sugerencias de lectura. Como se apunta en el prólogo, el volumen pretende ...
Legal Linguistics Beyond Borders: Language and Law in a World of Media, Globalisation and Social Conflicts
The world of law has changed in the last decades: it has become more globalized, multilingual and digital. The sections and contributions of this volume continue the interdisciplinary discussion about the challenges of this change for theory and practice of law and for the International Language and Law Association (ILLA) relaunched in 2017. First, the book gives a broad overview to the research field of legal linguistics, its history, research directions and open questions in different parts of the world (United States, Africa, Italy, Spain, Germany, Nordic countries and Russia). The second section consists of contributions about the relation of language, law and justice in a globalized world with a focus on multilingual and supranational law in the EU. The third section focuses on digitalization and mediatization of the law, the last section reports about the discussion at the ILLA relaunch conference in 2017.
