  • MEDIA TRANSLATION in BBCMUNDO INTERNET TEXTS 105 06 Valdeón.Pmd
    MEDIA TRANSLATION IN BBCMUNDO INTERNET TEXTS Roberto A. Valdeón Universidad de Oviedo ABSTRACT In recent years, several authors have underlined the need to enforce a critical approach to translation studies in order to explore ideologies in both source and target languages and cultures (Hermans; Olk). In this article we shall study BBCMundo’s news web texts and their source English BBCWorld reports from a critical approach. The paper is divided into two sections. Firstly, we analyse two series of news texts. We shall discuss the use of head- lines in the STs and TTs, and proceed to study the strategies used in the main bodies of the reports, notably omissions, additions and permutations. In a final section, we shall carry out the discussion about the ideological implications of the translational strategies identi- fied in the previous sections. KEY WORDS: Editorial routines, translation strategies, critical approach, news discourse. RESUMEN En los últimos años, diversos estudiosos han señalado la necesidad de aplicar un enfoque crítico a los estudios de traducción con el fin de analizar la ideología subyacente en los textos origen y meta (Hermans; Olk). Este artículo estudia, en dos secciones, textos meta 105 publicados por en BBCMundo y los correspondientes textos origen en inglés procedentes de BBCWorld. En la primera se analizarán dos grupos de textos. Se estudiará el uso de los titulares en los textos origen y textos meta, así como las estrategias utilizadas por sus autores en los artículos, especialmente las omisiones, adiciones y transformaciones, que son tam- bién objeto de estudio en el análisis del discurso de este género.

It was accepted and published in the Trade Marks Journal on 22 March 2013 for the following list of services: Class 41: Organisation of Beauty Pageants and Competitions 2) Miss World Limited (“the opponent”) opposes all of the services listed on the basis of Section 5(2)(b) of the Trade Marks Act 1994 (“the Act”). The opponent relies on four earlier marks. Earlier mark 1278551 MISS WORLD puts the opponent in no better position than when it relies upon its Community Trade Mark (CTM) 151282 and therefore, I will make no further mention of it. The remaining three earlier marks are detailed below: Mark & other relevant details Services relied upon CTM 4984928 Class 41: Organisation and running of MISS BIKINI WORLD contests; beauty contests; .... Filing date: 29 March 2006 Date of entry in register: 01 October 2010 CTM 0151282 Class 41: ...; organisation, sponsorship, MISS WORLD running of contests; beauty contests; ...
