Reflexiones sobre el papel y diseño de los diccionarios de traducción especializada

Abstract

ResumenEste artículo trata de los diccionarios especializados de traducción. Basado en los principios de la teoría funcional, analiza las diversas fases y subfases del proceso traductivo desde una perspectiva lexicográfica mostrando que un diccionario de traducción, si realmente pretende resolver las complejas necesidades de sus usuarios, debe ser mucho más que un simple diccionario bilingüe. A continuación presenta un concepto global de diccionario de traducción que incluye diversos componentes monolingües y bilingües en ambas direcciones entre las dos lenguas en cuestión. Finalmente, el artículo debate cómo este concepto puede aplicarse en Internet con el fin de desarrollar diccionarios de traducción de alta calidad y rápido acceso a datos adaptados cada vez más a las necesidades de cada traductor. Abstract "Reflection on the role and design of specialised translation dictionaries"This article deals with specialised translation dictionaries. Based on the principles of the function theory, it analyses the different phases and sub-phases of the translation process from a lexicographical perspective and shows that a translation dictionary should be much more than a mere bilingual dictionary if it really aims to meet its users' complex needs. Thereafter, it presents a global concept of a translation dictionary which includes various mono-and bilingual components in both language directions. Finally, the article discusses how this concept can be applied on the Internet in order to develop high-quality translation dictionaries with quick access to data that are still more adapted to the needs of each translator.

Issues and Perspectives in Bilingual Phraseography

“…However, based on the proposals that are being adopted by this theoretical framework, which are related, above all, to specialized and pedagogical lexicography, we can contemplate different possibilities for its application. The studies carried out by Fuertes Olivera and Tarp (2011);García Llamas (2013);van der Merwe and Fuertes Olivera (2014) and Tarp (2014) bear out this idea.…”

“…In addition, Function Theory offers a series of parameters which enable us to establish the profile and characteristics of a group of potential users, which is fundamental since, according to Tarp (2014): "One type of user with specific characteristics will not necessarily have the same needs as another type of user with different characteristics, even when they are carrying out the same type of task". This type of procedure might help to attenuate one of the problems attributed to BDs.…”
