Abstract:
My aim is to investigate whether there are meaningful differences in the way in which both translators transferred the English phraseological units into the target languages. To do so, I will identify and classify the occurrences in the original novel according to their types. Then, I will extract and analyze their Catalan and Spanish translations to see which techniques have been used in each case. Lastly, I will reach a conclusion on the similarities and differences on the treatment of phraseology in both versions.
