New Perspectives on Hispanic Cultures: La traducción entre el español y el inglés en los Estados Unidos / English-Spanish Translation in the US Context (2025)

The Influence of English on U.S. Spanish and Its Implications for Translation

2019

Given the large Hispanic population in the United States, Spanish is the second most spoken language in that country. Many of these speakers may require or simply enjoy texts in Spanish, which is why the U.S. Spanish market is a potential job opportunity for translation experts. However, the only difficulty for most translators from puristic schools may lie in the language variety they may have to use in the target texts. Surrounded by a mainly English-speaking environment, the enormous population of English-Spanish bilinguals in the United States may have given rise to their own variety of Spanish, with heavy use of anglicized structures and lexical items. Therefore, qualified translators should also be aware of the pecularities of this new language variety in order to meet the expectations of their target audience (Hurtado Albir, 2001). To probe into these characteristics, we conducted a survey among 52 English-Spanish bilinguals from all across the United States. Their answers showed several deviations from "pure" Spanish, which was of considerable value when determining the extent to which U.S. Spanish is being shaped by American English. It is essential, then, that translators incur in the use of the tendencies found in this study for the purposes of idiomaticity in this unique language variety.

25th Conference on Spanish in the United States and 10th Spanish in Contact with Other Languages at The City College of New York (CUNY) 160 Convent Avenue, New York, NY 10031 March 26-29, 2015

Founded in 1980, the Spanish in the US Conference brings together researchers from various disciplines - such as linguistics, sociology, anthropology, education, and legal studies - investigating a wide range of topics related to Spanish and Spanish-speaking communities in the United States. Since 1991, the Spanish in the US Conference has been held in conjunction with the Spanish in Contact with Other Languages Conference, allowing productive connections between researchers focusing on the US context and researchers investigating the entire Spanish-speaking world. In recent years, interest and participation have increased dramatically, thanks to both the growing public and scholarly recognition of Spanish-speaking communities in the United States. The conference is now held every two years, in odd years. Desde su primer encuentro en 1980, el congreso sobre el español en los Estados Unidos reúne a investigadores de varias disciplinas -como lingüística, sociología, antropología, educación, estudios legales, entre otras- dedicados al análisis de temas relacionados con el español y las comunidades hispanohablantes en los Estados Unidos. Desde 1991, el congreso sobre el español en los Estados Unidos se ha celebrado junto con el congreso sobre el español en contacto con otras lenguas, lo que ha permitido múltiples contactos entre investigadores centrados en el ámbito estadounidense y especialistas de otras partes del mundo hispanohablante. Durante los últimos años, el interés hacia estos temas ha crecido espectacularmente, gracias al reconocimiento público y académico alcanzado por la comunidad hispana en el país. Desde 2005, el congreso se celebra cada dos años, en años impares.

Localizing Theory in a Spanish-Language Translation Program

Routledge eBooks, 2022

The “Introduction to Spanish: Theory of Translation” course was created to bring undergraduate students of Spanish closer to the basic methodological principles of translation. The study of translation aimed to help students explore the art of translation and, at the same time, bring them closer to learning a second language. Its central objective was to relate translation in Spanish to other subjects such as history, Peninsular and Latin American literature, literary criticism, and linguistics. To this end, much of the class was devoted to the study of the history and theory of translation. Course texts included Fray Luis de León’s Prologue to Song of Songs (1580), José Ortega y Gasset’s The Misery and Splendor of Translation (1937), Octavio Paz’s Translation: Literature and Letters (1971), and Jorge Luis Borges’s The Translators of The Thousand and One Nights (1935).
