II.- INTRODUCCIÓ A L'ASSIGNATURA / INTRODUCTION TO THE COURSE
This course deals with the translation problems posed by the creative and aesthetic use of
language in a variety of text types (advertisements, audiovisual scripts, op-ed articles, fiction,
songs) and registers, and in both written and audiovisual mediums (dubbing, subtitling).
Aesthetic and creative language is characterized by drawing attention to itself, by greater
interdependence between content and form, greater use of polysemy, ambiguity and metaphor,
and by open interpretation (while Specialized Translation I deals with denotative and informative
texts which are based on objects well defined in the extralinguistic world and whose
interpretation is relatively closed).

X.- METODOLOGIA / METHODOLOGY
The course is basically practical. Lectures deal with theoretical and practical translation
problems.
The students’ daily practice is vital, both in examining model translated texts and in producing
assigned translations. Correction of students’ translations is carried out collectively in practice
classes, where the cause and solution of errors and inadequacies is discussed.
XI.- AVALUACIÓ DE L’APRENENTATGE / LEARNING ASSESSMENT
Class work and homework will be filed in a portfolio which will be assessed at the end of the
course. The teacher may ask for the student’s work at random during the course. (20%)
Written Assignment (20 %)
Final exams in which students translate a given source text (one for direct translation, and one
for inverse translation), with all material they may need, and within a certain limit of time. (60%)
The teacher may require a personal interview with a student in order to better evaluate her or
his portfolio, assignment or exams.
