O espazo da tradución das expresións idiomáticas na clase de FLE (Francés como lingua estranxeira)

Abstract

Idiomatic expressions, which are understood and used without a school learning, are set up in the popular memory. They are also shared by the members of a linguistic community. However, researchs in phraseology prove that they are not very studied in FLE courses, since they are considered as complex linguistic elements and difficult to memorise. This paper deals with the perspective of the translation from source language or L1 to target language or L2 and tries to analyse litteral images and their metaphorical decoding. This work, which goes beyond language, makes easier the understanding and memorisation of the studied expressions. The reference image will surpass the sense of the sum of the parts of the expression and will lead to abstraction and interpretation.
