La traducción al español de Entre les murs : el lenguaje coloquial, el argot y el verlan

The most remarkable difficulty of audiovisual translation is related to the translation of dialogues, which are supposed to reproduce the features of a more or less spontaneous oral language. This paper aims to analyze the difficulties and the strategies adopted for the translation into Spanish of the film Entre les murs (2008). This film, which depicts the daily life of a group of students and their teachers, is known for being a reflection of a French social reality, namely the reality for young people who live in the suburbs, which constitutes a particular universe. From a linguistic point of view, this reality is defined by the use of an oral register, a language characteristic of young people and by the presence of slang, specially the so-called verlan.

Le lion, l’étoile y l’hélice: estudio descriptivo de la metáfora en textos técnicos franceses del ámbito de la automoción y de su traducción al español

Technical texts are usually characterized by the use of terminology, and they are said to be clear, concise, precise and objective. It is terminology which is normally considered one of the most important difficulties to understand specialized concepts because they are expressed by means of this terminology. Nevertheless, there are other linguistic and cognitive elements which are frequently used to express specialized concepts, for instance, metaphors. In this paper we aim to analyze the use of cognitive metaphors in a corpus of French semi-specialized technical texts and to consider whether the use of these metaphors could be a problem should these metaphors have to be translated into Spanish.

Consideraciones en torno al género documental español en la época de Franco

El cine documental ha sido un género que, a pesar de la escasa difusión que ha tenido en España en el pasado frente al cine de ficción, tuvo un amplio desarrollo en el campo de la producción. En primer lugar, de la mano del organismo NO-DO (Noticiarios y Documentales), que va a definir toda una forma de hacer en los aspectos técnicos como puramente temáticos. Esta tendencia será continuada en gran medida por numerosas productoras privadas que siguen tales pautas en busca de beneficios derivados de la Administración cinematográfica.
