Idiosyncrases to Norms: An Intermediate Path
The main objective of this article is to elaborate on the concept of translation tendency, understood not only as an intermediate step between a norm and an idiosyncrasy, but also as a useful tool in research focused on finding translation regularities. Given that this concept can be a source of criticism and of certain interpretations that deviate from its strict sense, this paper is intended to clarify it. Similarly, some reflections on the the…

In Spain, the growing number of films depicting characters in multicultural settings bears testimony to the demographic changes experienced by Spanish society since the late 1980s.

Second, I argue for the figure of the translator as an intercultural expert or mediator, a perception that stems directly from the conception of transl…

The analysis is based on several Translation Studies and Pragmatics methods and on a taxonomy of humorous elements in audiovisual texts. These were used to (1) quantify and (2) analyse the humorous elements i…
