K redefinici vybraných pojmů ve španělské translatologii optikou prací Jiřího Levého

Abstract

This paper aims to present a comparison between some concepts authored by contemporary Spanish translation scholars and the ideas formulated by Jiří Levý. A short outline of the evolution of Translation Studies in Spanish speaking countries in the second half of the 20th century is taken as a basis for the explanation of the lack of awareness of Levý's theories among the Spanish speaking authors. Compared to some recent concepts studied in Spanish (the so-called anisomorfisms in translation, the problem of the source of the translating activity), the concepts attributed to Jiří Levý (translation as a decision process, the source) seem to be more dynamic and complex. Therefore, Levý's theories can be considered as methodologically innovative, despite having been defined more than fifty years ago.
