Abstract:
In this thesis it is concluded that: 1) there is no Spanish-Chinese bilingual dictionary capable of satisfying the lexicographically relevant information needs of a medical translator; 2) the existing general and specialized bilingual Spanish-Chinese dictionaries do not contain medical terminology or necessary data that can satisfy the cognitive and communicative needs of medical translators; 3) medical terminology in Spanish is characterized, above all, by numerous Greco-Latin roots, use of eponymy, abbreviations, anglicisms. Such peculiarities cause difficulties for the Chinese medical translator in the translation process from Spanish to Chinese; 4) the most suitable lexicographic theory to guide the compilation process of a lexicographic product of Spanish-Chinese medicine for translators is the functional theory of lexicography; 5) it is possible to create relevant lexicographic data designed for a bilingual Spanish-Chinese medical dictionary based on the analysis of the needs of medical translators that overcomes the gaps presented by current bilingual specialized medical dictionaries. Consequently, as the results obtained from the previous analyzes are unsatisfactory, 23 sample entries of the Spanish-Chinese specialized bilingual dictionary that will be developed in the near future are designed, in such a way that the lexicographically relevant information needs of a Spanish-Chinese medical translator.
