Bollywood-loving countries and Bollywood-inspired films: English compound adjectives in Spanish translations

P. 247-270English compound adjectives are a productive idiomatic resource used to express detailed characterisation of nouns and this is particularly so when the second item is either a present/ gerund participle (-ing) or a past participle (-ed), as illustrated in the two examples in the title of this paper. However, “compounding is not a process which all languages use. Some languages, e.g. French and Spanish have little or no compounding, while others, e.g. German and Dutch, make extensive use of compounding.” (Bybee 1985: 106). Due to the fact that compounding is not such a common word-formation process in a more analytic language such as Spanish, other types of forms need to be used in translations to express these meanings. The corpus-based study reported on here makes use of empirical data from a parallel corpus of contemporary English texts and their corresponding Spanish translations: P-ACTRES.2 This paper describes the actual translation options found for English compound adjectives in Spanish. First, the translations were analysed to identify the translation techniques employed in each cas

The rhetorical structure of technical brochures: A proposal for technical writing

p. 241-245Nowadays, in many professional contexts native-speakers of Spanish are required to write technical texts in English. Texts belonging to the same genre follow certain rhetorical and phraseological conventions. The aim of this paper is to assist in the technical writing of this particular text type through a discourse analysis of their rhetorical structure. A corpus of technical brochures has been compiled and analyzed into moves and steps. Next, the most typical lexico-grammatical structures in each move and step have been extracted. The linguistic information obtained has been used to build specific software to generate technical brochures in English (GITEC).S

Describing cheese in English and Spanish: A corpus-based contrastive study

This is a corpus-based contrastive study of online cheese descriptions in English and Spanish. For global trade, English is considered the lingua franca, and Spanish dairy industries need to produce accurate descriptions of the cheeses they manufacture for commercial purposes. This paper provides native speakers of Spanish with the main rhetorical, phraseological and lexical features of this text type in English, highlighting the major differences with the same text type in Spanish. The empirical data have been extracted from a comparable corpus containing 22,834 words in English and 24,736 words in Spanish. The corpus was tagged with rhetorical labels to enable a subsequent analysis of the most common phraseological and lexical resources employed for the description of cheese in both languages. The study offers non-native writers of this subgenre in English guidelines about the structure of these texts, as well as an inventory of ready-made phraseological and lexical units

Perfectly smooth, creamy and full flavoured’: Online cheese descriptions

p. 226-232This paper presents a corpus-based analysis of online cheese descriptions in English. These texts follow specific conventions which make them recognizable as belonging to a particular subgenre. In this study we will follow Swales’ move-step method to establish the rhetorical structure, and a subsequent lexico-grammatical analysis will provide relevant information such as common phraseological and lexical suggestions for each move and step. The final aim of the study is to produce a writing tool for Spanish-speaking professionals in the dairy industry to assist them in the production of this specific text type.S

Se calcularon las tasas de incidencia por localidad de residencia y se correlacionaron con la línea de pobreza correspondiente a cada localidad (coeficiente de correlación). También se compararon la supervivencia global a 5 años, de manera general y según cada una de las variables de estudio, incluyendo la localidad de residencia, por medio de análisis Log Rank y curvas de Kaplan Meier. Resultados: 340 registros fueron estudiados. 63,2% de sexo femenino, promedio de edad: 63,4años; 63,7% afiliados al régimen contributivo; la mayoría provenientes de las localidades Suroriente (26,5%) y NCH (25,3%).
