Description
Summary:[EN] Selecting representative textual corpus for descriptive comparative work in DTS has always been considered a key matter. When dealing with translations censored (TRACE) in Franco’s Spain, the analysis of the information contained in the (narrative, theatre, cinema) catalogues of censored translations has lead to the establishment of explicit criteria for selecting representative texts. This makes the textual corpora selected for closer comparative study prototypical rather than anecdotal or randomly chosen. A crucial question, justifying the selection of certain texts as the object of descriptive comparative work in DTS, is thus tackled in a progressive and explicit manner by proceeding from catalogue to corpus.
