Pedagogical Interpretation for the Development of the Phraseological Component of the Spanish-Speaking Learner of the Russian Language

Abstract

The presence of set phrases (SP, also known as phrase units) in an interpreting process causes specific difficulties that turn its processing in interpretation different from other language elements. However, development of the linguistic-phraseological competence of future interpreters has hardly been the focus of researchers, particularly in the Russian-Spanish language combination. In the present paper we analyse the difficulties that interpreting the PUs of a discourse entail as well as the importance of counting on a solid linguistic-phraseological competence for successful interpreting to take place. Based on the approach of pedagogical interpreting, we present a didactic proposal taken from a Russian language manual for future translators and interpreters that we are developing at the University of Granada. The aim of this proposal is to help students develop their linguistic-phraseological competence through a systematisation of interpreting strategies, both in terms of reception and production.
