  Transfer of cultural specific items: the example of a popular science text. Definitions and basic problems
• Creator:

• Description:
  In Poland, the term cultural specific item does not have a coherent and extensive definition. Most researchers agree about its close relation with what we perceive as the culture of a given country. Thus, culturally marked units become cultural specific items and in this particular context we should rather refer to their transfer (i.e. transfer and/or translation) than translation. A popular science text poses a genuine challenge for the translator, as it might occur that the cultural specific items constituting source text implicit knowledge (of the target audience as assumed a priori by the author) may distort the comprehension of the text which is by definition aimed at non-experts.
