РЕАЛИЗАЦИЯ ФУНКЦИОНАЛЬНОГО ПОДХОДА ПРИ ОБУЧЕНИИ УСТНЫХ ПЕРЕВОДЧИКОВ

The article deals with the problem of implementing a functional approach in the training of interpreters. The significance of this approach is due to the need to form in them a conscious attitude to the translated text and the communicative situation of its creation, as well as to a reasonable choice of translation strategies and tactics. The article presents a retrospective of the functional approach emergence and development on the example of scientists from West Germany and Russia, and modern approaches to its implementation on the example of texts of various genres translations into Chinese and Arabic. The author considers the possibility of implementing a functional approach in the training of interpreters, especially at the stage of learning and preparation for interpretation. Namely, instructions to analyze external and internal factors of the source and target texts generation in a situation of excursion and to working with the function diagram of the dialogue in the situation "Meeting at the airport" are presented. The author draws a conclusion that while teaching interpreters, it is necessary to pay attention to the specifics of the oral, multimodal translation discourse, the status-role and communicative characteristics of the participants, the contact situation and the sphere of communication. The main provisions and conclusions of the article can be used by teachers of translation in the process of preparing students for future translation activities.

Re-dissecting Ang Lee’s Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon from the Perspectives of Cognition, Translation and Reconfiguration of Culture

ABSTRACT This article takes Ang Lee’s Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (CTHD in abbreviation) as an audiovisual translation discourse to explore its cognition, translation and reconfiguration of culture. It constructs an analytical framework that consists of three notions, namely cultural cognition, cultural translation and cultural reconfiguration. Within this framework, the three defined notions are used to guide the analysis of CTHD. The findings reveal that Ang Lee’s CTHD is featured by a diasporic/intercultural Chinese identity that is rooted in his cultural cognition of an imaginatively traditional China. He skillfully tells a Chinese romantic wuxia story that represents the conflicts and negotiations between Chinese classic culture and Western ideological values (e.g., feminism). English subtitle translation plays a role in bridging the gap between Chinese culture and Western audiences, facilitating the dialog between East and West. In short, the romantic imagination of “Cultural China” shaped by Ang Lee presents a multicultural embracement of Chinese and Western cultures, but it objectively reinforces the stereotype of China as an “other” to the Western world.

On English Translation of Chinese Diplomatic Discourses from the Perspective of Pragmatic Triadic Relations

Translation is a special case of language use and a special way of communication that spans language, time and culture. Translation of diplomatic discourse is a complicated communicative activity in which numerous factors should be taken into consideration such as the speech style of the speaker, the situational context and the distinctions between the source language and the target language. The pragmatic triadic relation mode of relational pragmatics is beneficial for the translation of diplomatic discourses from Chinese to English, according to which, the translator, language and context interact with each other in the translation process and constitute a complete system. The translator plays a subjective role whose mastery of both the source language and the target language will affect his understanding of the source text and his ways of re-expression and recreation; the linguistic and cultural characteristics of the source language will to some extent influence the translator’s selection of words and understanding of the speaker’s intention; while the situational and cultural contextual factors such as time, space, participants, culture, customs and values will also have impacts on translation. Comprehensive consideration of all these aspects will produce appropriate and effective translation of a diplomatic discourse and promote the dissemination of Chinese culture.

ОСОБЛИВОСТІ ПЕРЕКЛАДУ ЮРИДИЧНИХ НЕОЛОГІЗМІВ НА ПРИКЛАДІ ТЕРМІНА "МАЛОЗНАЧНА СПРАВА"

The article deals with the issue on translating legal terms from Ukrainian into English on the basis of a case study of a newly-coined term in Ukrainian legislation – 'maloznachna sprava'. The relevance of the topic of legal translation from English into Ukrainian and vice versa has become especially acute in light of the Ukraine-EU approximation agreement. While the introduction of simplified civil proceedings is itself a step towards the approximation of Ukrainian legislation to the EU, the next stage will inevitably be comparing and contrasting the existing terms within the Ukrainian and EU civil procedures. Ukrainian simplified procedure aims at considering insignificant cases (Ukr. – 'maloznachni spravy') in a speedy manner, while EU accelerated and simplified civil procedure uses the term 'small claims' for cases with a claim value for up to EUR 5,000. Obviously, these notions are not equivalent, but their meaning overlaps, creating pitfalls for translation. Thus, for proper translation, it is important to specify how the concept of small claims fits into Ukraine's national context. The notion of insignificant cases illustrates the relevance of the linguistic study of legal translations, as well as a need for the consolidation of practical achievements in the field of translation of legal discourse and, in particular, legal neologisms. The purpose of legal translation is to create a text that will be interpreted in the same way by legal professionals in the target legal system as it would be in the original legal system. The aim of translation is not to erase linguistic and cultural differences but to accommodate them, fully and unapologetically. The challenge is to convey the legal text as a fragment of a living legal system. When translating, a translator should strive for equivalence, bearing in mind the harmonisation and approximation of terminologies. The linguistic approximation of national Ukrainian legal terms to the EU terminology should be carefully considered to avoid their misinterpretation with the supranatural terms. The author emphasises the necessity to perform concept analysis between the terms in the EU and Ukraine simplified procedures and comes to the conclusion that despite having surface similarity to the EU term 'small claim', the Ukrainian term 'maloznachna sprava' is, in fact, a much wider concept. A range of translations of legal neologisms are described in the article, and the need to use a literal translation of the term is substantiated. As a result of the analysis of possible translation options and the ECtHR translation precedent, it is recommended that the term 'maloznachna sprava' should be translated as 'insignificant case' within the sphere of Ukrainian civil procedure. Keywords: legal translation, Ukrainian-English translation, small claim, insignificant case.

SOCIOCULTURAL CREDO OF MODERN TRANSLATOR IN DIGITAL COMMUNICATION ENVIRONMENT

The article is based on the idea that, in a digital communicative environment, there are changes in the structure of the human-translator activity and functions, some of which are transferred to the machine translation. The aim of the research is to find ways of translation and meta-translation activities integration in the cognitive translation space and speech space of the translation discourse. This requires the coordination of the translation discourse with existing digital platforms, development of new language technologies oriented towards a high-quality product that ensures successful interlingual, intercultural, and interpersonal interaction. The methodological basis of the research is the concept of translation space which is based on a synergetic approach to translation involving harmonization of the source and target meanings, i.e., their adequacy and equivalence. The theoretical basis of the study is the notion of an epistemic situation as an extralinguistic basis of a text with ontological, methodological, and axiological components. The ontology of translation is represented by the idea of cognitivism, methodology — by synergy, axiology — by harmony. The result of the study is the correlation between the subject-centric and text-centric functions of a human-translator developing their reflexive, empathic, and other cognitive abilities which cannot be delegated to machine translation. There is transposition process of translator linguistic persona functions when the translator retains all subject-centric functions, whereas part of text-centric functions are performed by translation software. At this time, the social and cultural responsibility of the translator increases, since translation is assigned by a human and performed for a human.

ОСОБЛИВОСТІ ПЕРЕКЛАДУ АНГЛІЙСЬКОГО ГУМОРУ УКРАЇНСЬКОЮ

The article is devoted to the study of the features of reproducing English humor in the Ukrainian language. The relevance of the work is due to the urgent need for a comprehensive study of English-language humor as a text-discursive education and the features of its translation. The aim of the study is to analyze the specifics of reproducing English-language humor. As a result of the study, the author comes to the conclusion that the reproduction of English humorous discourse should take into account the national characteristics of the people, culture and traditions. Translation of humorous discourse requires the use of various transformations: lexical, grammatical (including syntactic and morphological), semantic, and stylistic. Often these types of transformations appear in a mixed form. The most effective transformations are: lexical, grammatical, and complex lexical and grammatical ones. The subject of research of this work is humor — the most common modern type of comic. The concept of humor is defined as a comprehensive phenomenon, a way of seeing, a way of life. The nature of humor depends on the linguistic and cultural characteristics of the country to which it belongs, which means that this phenomenon reproduces the national picture of the world. According to this, the translator should take into account the peculiarities of ethnic worldview in order to reproduce the content of discursive humorous education adequately. It is also necessary to be able to know at least something about the cultures involved in the translation in order to understand the original and be able to reproduce it. During the analysis, we determined that it is necessary to take into account the national nature of humor, because in different societies the same thing can cause different reactions, which leads to inadequate units of reproduction of the source language to the target language. Based on the fact that it is not always possible to fully reproduce the content and expressive-emotional coloring, compensation is considered the best lexical and semantic means of transmitting humor in the source language in the translation language. A necessary condition for translation is the selection of appropriate phonetic, lexical and phraseological means for transmitting not only the semantics of the humorous formation of the original language, but also their expressive and functional features

Explicitation, simplification and neutralisation in the translation of reference

Recurrent features of translation, sometimes labelled as ‘translation universals’, have been intensively investigated within Descriptive Corpus-based Translation Studies. Numerous language pairs have been set under researchers’ lens with a view to observing languages from a contrastive viewpoint, but also individually, in their translational manifestations. This has enabled the identification of characteristic features of the translational facets of languages, which have generated more and more nuanced scholarly theories. This paper examines the occurrence of some of the most frequent features of translation, namely: explicitation, simplification and neutralisation in the translation of reference as a cohesive device. Methodologically speaking, the investigation combines the theoretical and applied areas of Translation Studies, with an interdisciplinary dimension provided by the fusion of methodological input borrowed from Descriptive Translation Studies, Discourse Analysis and Contrastive Studies. The theoretical component of the research refers to issues of contrastiveness between English and Romanian viewed from a translational angle, in terms of equivalence and the occurrence of the three features of translation. The applied area of Translation Studies comprises the empirical approach to the translation of reference, while addressing not only the researchers’ community, but also the practitioners in translation and the translator training environment. The research applies both quantitative and qualitative methods to investigate the data selected from John Fowles’ novel Mantissa (1982) and its translation into Romanian by Angela Jianu (Fowles 1995). The findings provide insights into the nature and functions of referring expressions as formal links, but also as stylistic devices, and shed light into issues related to contrastiveness of reference between English and Romanian, to aspects of equivalence and translatability, as well as to the occurrence of translation universals.

ЛІНГВОСТИЛІСТИЧНІ ОСОБЛИВОСТІ ПЕРЕКЛАДУ ПОЛІТИЧНОГО ДИСКУРСУ США (НА МАТЕРІАЛІ ПРОМОВ Б. ОБАМИ ТА Д. ТРАМПА)

The actuality of this research is the comparative analysis of political discourse translation of Donald Trump and Barack Obama from the point of view of the application of linguistic and stylistic features of the translation political speeches of both presidents. Political discourse is a phenomenon that we face every day. Taking into account the realities of our time, the wide spread of democracy, the openness of society, more and more attention is paid to the political language. The study of translations of the speeches of the US presidents allows, on the one hand, to predict further actions and intentions of a politician, and on the other, to highlight the most effective ways of influencing the audience. That is why the translation of political speeches is increasingly becoming an object of interest for scholars in various fields, especially in translation studies. The purpose of the proposed article is to identify the linguistic and stylistic features of the reproduction of US political discourse on the material of the speeches of the last two presidents of this country — Obama and Trump. The thematic, cultural and linguistic peculiarities of translation of the inaugural speeches of D. Trump and B. Obama are investigated. A comparative analysis of the linguistic units used by both presidents and their Ukrainian translations revealed that the preservation of the content during translation is possible due to the restoration of all relevant components of the utterance, and the translation of lexical units, including the evaluative component, is carried out in most cases with the help of regular correspondences. It is proved that during translating political speeches, linguo-stylistic features are actualized by combining regular correspondences and various transformations, which make it possible to preserve or modify the variant characteristics of a particular linguistic unit.

ONOMASTIC SPACE OF TRANSLATION DISCOURSE: HARMONY vs. DISHARMONY

The authors of the article have studied the onomastic translation discourse considering, on the one hand, the common methodological concept - translation space, and, on the other hand, traditions of analysis existing in the Russian and Bulgarian schools of thought. Such approach creates new scientific view on the problem and leads to the new results. The work of modern French writer O. Bourdeaut “En attendant Bojangles” and its translation to the Russian and Bulgarian languages and entitled as “В ожидании Божанглза” and “В очакване на Боджангълс” correspondingly became the basic concept of the empirical analysis. The novel of O. Bourdeaut is distinguished by the richness of onomastic material which finds its reflection in translation discourse and is traced in the article by the material of three languages: French, Bulgarian and Russian. Taking into consideration the basic provisions of the theory of nomination by A.V. Superanskaya, V.V. Katermina, the theory of text/discourse by V.E. Chernyavskaya, the synergetic concepts of the language by N.L. Myshkina, G.G. Moskalchuk, N.V. Drozhaschikh and others, the interpretative theory of translation by D. Seleskovich and M. Lederer, the authors develop the ideas of the synergy of translation with reference to onomastic space of translation discourse which defines the aim of the present research. Versatile linguistic-and-translation analysis of French-Russian and French-Bulgarian anthroponyms has been carried out and harmonic/disharmonic conformity between them has been revealed. This conformity is opening the translation discourse possibility to become the inherent part of receiving culture. Obtaining harmonicity in the process of translating components of text/discourse onomastic space from one linguistic culture to another is conditioned by the augment of culturally meaningful senses in translation space, i.e. by their synergy. As appears from the research hypothesis which has found its confirmation in the process of analysis, harmonic translation, i.e. translation where senses are adequate to the senses of the original text, in different languages have different personification: the augment of culturally meaningful senses is varied depending on the abstract or routine national-cultural values of ethnos. The authors of this work have made a conclusion that every harmonic translation is as unique as the original text. In those cases when the components of onomastic space of translation discourse have translation mistakes and discrepancies the fragments including them are recognized to be disharmonic and unacceptable for receiving linguistic culture.

“Grabbism” and Untranslatability: Reinterpreting Lu Xun's Position as a Translator

Abstract Lu Xun's translation discourse and his concept of “grabbism” (拿来主义 nalai zhuyi) are mutually constructed in a historical and evolutionary process. This article investigates how two different notions of “untranslatability” embedded in the discourse of Lu Xun's translation interact with his constantly rectified idea of “grabbism.” Lu Xun's translation process is replete with tensions and contradictions resonating with his simultaneous aspiration to and resistance against Western modernity. These tensions and contradictions are reflections of his self-contradiction between the collective responsibility of saving the nation by embracing Western modernity and a kind of unconscious reclamation of himself as a man of letters whose roots in Chinese tradition were less pronounced. Lu Xun's translation practice along with his “grabbism” provides us an alternative perspective to understand the politics of translation beyond English contexts and sheds light on our reconceptualizing the nature of translation.

Scales of governance: Translating multiscalar transitional pathways in South Africa’s energy landscape

In this paper, we argue for a multiscalar focus on the governance of energy policy and practice. This perspective reveals the translation of agendas and policies across scales stretching from the global to the local. We analyse South Africa’s energy landscape, which is influenced by: a highly complex and dynamic set of generation and production networks, policy strategies, multiple state and non-state actors, and the continuing impact of apartheid. In the paper, we establish a dialogue between Actor-Network Theory and studies of socio-technical transitions to analyse the translation and purification of discourses and practices across scales, and to consider how these processes may impact on spatialised processes of energy transition.

Everyday characterizations of translational research: researchers\u2019 own use of terminology and models in medical research and practice

Biomedical literature and policy are highly concerned with encouraging and improving the clinical application and clinical benefit of new scientific knowledge. Debates, theorizing, and policy initiatives aiming to close the “bench-to-bedside gap” have led to the development of “Translational Research” (TR), an emerging set of research-related discourses and practices within biomedicine. Studies in social science and the humanities have explored and challenged the assumptions underpinning specific TR models and policy initiatives, as well as the socio-material transformations involved. However, only few studies have explored TR as a productive ongoing process of meaning-making taking place as part of the everyday practices of the actual researchers located at the very nexus of science and clinic. This article therefore asks the question of how the discourse and promise of translation is embedded and performed within the practices and perspective of the specific actors involved. The findings are based on material from ethnographic fieldwork among translational researchers situated in a Danish hospital research setting. The analysis draws on the analytical notion of performativity in order to approach statements and models of TR in the light of their performative dimension. This analytical approach thus helps to highlight how the characterizations of TR also contain prescriptions for how the world must change for these characterizations to become true. The analysis provides insights into four different characterizations of TR and reflects on the associated practices where performative success is achieved in practice. With the presentation of these four characterizations, this paper illustrates different uses of the term TR among the actual actors engaged in research-clinic activities and contributes insight into the complex processes of conceptual and material reorganization that form part of the emergence of TR in biomedicine.

ИССЛЕДОВАНИЕ ОСОБЕННОСТЕЙ ПЕРЕВОДА АУДИОВИЗУАЛЬНОГО ТЕКСТА

Статья посвящена актуальным проблемам перевода аудиовизуальных текстов и особенностям языковых средств выражения кинодискурса как формы и источника социально-культурного знания. Критически рассматривается типология кинодискурсов, определяется специфика аудиовизуального текста в целом и мультипликационного текста, в частности. Даются определения таким понятиям, как «культурная адаптация», «лакуна», «аудиовизуальный перевод» и ряду других, определяются приемы и способы культурной адаптации кинодискурса. Поднимается проблема эффективного обучения студентов переводу различных типов аудиовизуальных текстов. В этой связи выявляются наиболее значимые компетенции, обуславливающие формирование основных навыков перевода кинодискурса: общелингвистические, включающие учет особенностей фонетики, грамматики и стилистики исходного языка, литературно-сценарные, предопределяющие знание особенностей построения сценария, владение основными сюжетными линиями произведения, кинематографические, интертекстуальные и культурно-социальные знания, включающие знание истории кинематографа, его жанров, значимых кинопроизведений.Методология исследования. Результаты проведенного исследования показывают, что информационно и сюжетно значимые интертекстуальные элементы содержат национальные фоновые знания, поэтому необходима культурно и лингвистически обусловленная адаптация. В связи с этим анализируются виды, а также лингвистические и экстралингвистические факторы культурной адаптации. Показано, что в адаптации нуждаются интертекстуальные элементы, которые несут в себе национальные фоновые знания. В результатах исследования отмечается, что проблемы перевода аудиовизуальных текстов до сих пор не стали предметом каких-либо масштабных специальных исследований в отечественной и западной лингвистике.

Обучение переводу с китайского языка на русский язык посредством блог-технологии на примере экономического дискурса

Today, the relevance of use of modern information and communication technologies (wiki-technology, blogs, podcasts, linguistic corpus), which have didactic features and methodic functions, in teaching a foreign language and translation is not in doubt. The translation of economic discourse from Chinese into Russian is in demand in the context of the expanding interaction of the two countries in the trade and economic sphere. In this connection, the need for training highly qualified specialists in translating economic discourse is growing. We present suggestions on teaching students how to translate economic discourse from Chinese into Russian language on example of using blog technology. When translating and teaching, it is necessary to take into account the difference in the organization of the structures of the Russian and Chinese languages. The listed types of modern information and communication technologies can meet the requirements for teaching translation from Chinese, which is structured as an isolating type. The focus is on the translation competencies development (linguistic, text-forming, communicative, technological competence, as well as special competencies, including economic component), based on the developed system of exercises. An algorithm is presented for organizing teaching translation of economic discourse from Chinese into Russian through blog technology, highlighting three main stages (preparatory, practical, and final) and a detailed description of the actions involved.

Translation and Loss-Aversion1

This paper is about the inflation of loss talk in a certain discourse on translation and how translation is often presented as a disaster or even an emblem of what is always missing. My guiding questions will be: Why has the notion of loss become such a dominant concept when talking about translation? Where does this rhetoric of loss—in translators’ reflections, in translation reviews as well as in scholarly material of theoreticians—come from? What are some of the assumptions that underlie this loss discourse on translation products? Can we go beyond a descriptive perspective of the phenomenon and try to come up with a few explanations for this loss talk on translation? I shall furthermore explore the concept of loss-aversion from economics and decision theory (Kahneman, 2011), and argue that loss-aversion may help us to better understand how the notion of loss, and more generally the gain-loss equation, operate in the field of translation. Finally looking at translation discourse through the losing-glass, I will briefly discuss a few “unlosables” from the field of biblical Hebrew translation.

Assessment of Hadith Translations in Pursuit of Venuti's Domestication and Foreginization Strategies

This paper provides an assessment of translation of Hadith discourse in light of Venuti's (1995) strategies of 'domestication' versus 'foreiginization'. It aims at testing the applicability and adequacy of using such strategies by various translators of the six canonical books of hadith, based on the assumption that opting for either 'domestication' or 'foreignization' is left to the discretion of the translator according to specific factors such as the background of his readership, the goal of the target text and the message of the source text.

ОСОБЛИВОСТІ ВІДТВОРЕННЯ ІРОНІЧНИХ ВИСЛОВЛЮВАНЬ СУЧАСНОГО АНГЛОМОВНОГО КІНОДИСКУРСУ УКРАЇНСЬКОЮ МОВОЮ

The article is devoted to topical problems of translation of modern English-language film discourse (based on the TV series "The Big Bang Theory"). Stylistic features of English-language film discourse are characterized. It is noted that the language of English-language film discourse has certain features and directions for certain categories of speakers and recipients. In the course of the analysis of English-language film discourse, a direct relationship between the degree of complexity of the selected language tools and socio-cultural specific features of the target audience is proved. The irony is a move to challenge norms, rules, common sense. It easily turns into a paradox and a joke. Comparisons of two or more textual worlds, styles, paradoxical comparisons, quotations, parodies lead to endless possibilities for variations in the understanding of ironic means. Socio-cultural linguistic elements that complicate film translation include realities (non-equivalent vocabulary), proper names, idiomatic expressions and jargon, dialect and variant features, humor. Non-linguistic features of the socio-cultural character contained in the visual and sound plans of a motion picture can also affect translation. At the same time, empirical studies of the application and methods of film translation testify to the existence of specific operational rules, that is, the patterns of behavior of the translator in some sociocultural situation – the situation of translation for film screening. Thus, the conducted study shows that "film discourse" is a "broader concept than cinema text” and “film dialogue”, which includes various correlations with other fields of science, such as literature, theater, art, etc. In addition, it is in the cinema discourse that the final interpretation of sen sous, embedded in the movie. In this case, cinema text is a fragment of cinema discourse and includes two heterogeneous semiotic systems: linguistic and non-linguistic, the film dialogue appears as the linguistic component of the film. Therefore, the audiovisual images operated by cinema become an indispensable element of the new discourse of modernity, which is the source of social, cultural, psychological as well as linguistic knowledge. This is why book adaptations are so popular because they save time and effort. However, as a result of a comparative lexical stylistic analysis of the book and its TV version, it was found that the number of lexical means and stylistic figures in the literary work is much greater and striking in its diversity, especially when it comes to descriptions. In the film, the language becomes poorer because dialogic speech is a predominantly spoken-and-everyday style characterized by general vocabulary and changes in the syntactic structure of sentences. The sentences in the movie are usually simple, not complex, full of exclamations and pauses and easy to hear. Film discourse should be understood as the process of play and perception of a film, the meaning of which is the mutual influence of several semiotic systems. Cinema discourse involves participants in the discourse, time and space of their interaction. The main difficulty in translatable movie text is the possibility and degree of adaptation of the text to a foreign language culture, built on a different system of values and concepts, and this factor causes the inevitable loss in the perception of translatable cinema with other subjects and / or incompatible with other linguistic culture failures of a large number of films.

Rational theology: The case of Philo of Alexandria

The phenomenon of rational theology arises at the moment when there is a need to adapt traditional or new religious ideas to contemporary and characteristic intellectual practices. The case of Philo of Alexandria can serve as a good example of what happens when two different cultural traditions begin the mutual translation of discourses. We analyze how this affects the most important theological concepts of Philo on the basis of the treatise De opificio mundi. We pay attention to three points: 1. Philo’s assessment of the cosmogonic and historical narrative of Moses as a metaphysical prologue to his legislation; 2. Philo’s interpretation of natural law and natural being as an allegory of metaphysical and moral law; 3. Aristotle’s “motives” in Philo’s description of the activities of God the Creator. It can be concluded that Philo interprets the Greek philosophical language as a completely acceptable way of reading both the laws of nature and the Jewish Scriptures (he explains this through the “borrowing hypothesis”). As a result, the legislation of Moses appears to be included in the structure of the ancient universe reformed by Philo. Greek philosophical discourse is interpreted as one of the manifestations of Divine Revelation— a point of view that will later be inherent in some early Christian authors (for example, Clement of Alexandria).

EL DISCURSO SOBRE LA TRADUCCIÓN EN LA PRENSA ESPAÑOLA (2013-2017): LA TRADUCCIÓN COMO NOTICIA

Utilizando una metodología descriptivo-cualitativa, en esta investigación se estudia de qué manera se presenta la traducción como noticia en un periódico de ámbito estatal (El País) y otro regional (La Voz de Galicia). Nos proponemos identificar y analizar el discurso sobre la traducción, su visibilidad y valoración. El corpus, que corresponde al lustro 2013-2017, se conforma de aquellos documentos en los que se registra la palabra traducción en el titular. Si bien el discurso sobre la traducción es mayoritariamente positivo, especialmente cuando se refiere a la traducción editorial, se constata la práctica ausencia de un discurso de la traducción periodística en los medios analizados.
