Resumen

En este artículo se estudian las estrategias de explicitación e implicitación en textos médicos traducidos del inglés al español mediante el análisis de un corpus comparable y otro paralelo. Estudios de corpus previos han mostrado que existen diferencias léxicas y sintácticas en los textos traducidos al compararlos con los no traducidos (Askehave & Zethsen 2000; Jensen & Zethsen 2012), entre ellas diferencias en los porcentajes de explicitación de términos médicos de origen grecolatino (Jiménez-Crespo & Tercedor 2017). Se compiló un corpus paralelo con el fin de analizar si el mayor porcentaje de explicitación observado en las traducciones inglés-español con respecto a textos no traducidos en este último estudio se debe (1) a interferencia interlingüística o calcos de estructuras textuales de la lengua origen, o (2) a la tendencia a explicitar, propia de la traducción. Los resultados apuntan a una posible combinación de ambas. La tendencia a explicitar apareció en 21% de posibles casos, sin ningún caso de implicitación. Estos resultados confirman mayoritariamente la hipótesis de interferencia o influencia interlingüística (Kruger 2018). Además, respaldan la hipótesis de la aversión al riesgo (Pym 2005, 2015; Kruger 2018; De Sutter & Kruger 2018), pues las traducciones solo muestran una tendencia a la inclusión de formulaciones más claras y explícitas.
