Abstract

The aim of this paper is to carry out an analysis of the different cultural terms that appear in the works of Stephen King and to study which are the most common translation procedures used when translating cultural terms into two different languages: Spanish and French, since the source language is English. Due to the huge amount of works written by King, we had to select only three novels: It, The Shining and Pet Sematary.In order to carry out the analysis of our corpus, we have compiled, classified and studied a total of three hundred cultural terms: one hundred from It, one hundred from The Shiningand one hundred from Pet Sematary. In this regard, it is important to outline that, in the theoretical framework, we explained the classification of cultural terms proposed by Newmark (1992) and, on this basis, we have selected two specific categories in order to give a more concrete approach to our work: “Material culture”and “Organizations, customs, activities, procedures and concepts”. Thus, within each work we have selected fifty cultural terms for each category.Finally, we also wanted to carry out a quantitative study of the translation procedures most commonly used in French and Spanish within each of the categories mentioned in the previous paragraph. This analysis has allowed us to graphically present the percentage of use of each procedure and thus establish a series of conclusions.
