Proposal for the analysis of the source text in the comprehension phase of the translation process: contextualization, and analysis of extra-linguistic and intralinguistic aspects

Resumen

This paper underlines the importance of textual analysis in the comprehension phase of the translation process. It proposes a teaching activity model for first year Translation students, consisting mainly of three different stages focused on detecting and classifying translation problems in a specific text: contextualization of the source text and analysis of extra-linguistic and intra-linguistic aspects related to the translation process. For this purpose, we present a table-based methodology to be applied to the teaching of Basic Concepts for Interpreter and Translator Training.
