RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 Using Systemic Functional Linguistics as an Aid to Translation between Spanish and English: Maintaining the Thematic Development of the ST A1 Munday, Jeremy AB As is well known, the typical non-marked choice of theme variesbetween Spanish and English; in Spanish, the verb is often in thematicposition, whereas English typically thematises a subject noun or pronoun.The present paper discusses some of the main issues that arisefrom this systemic difference between the two languages. Using an electroniccorpus of mainly journalistic texts, the paper looks at the differentthematic development of similar passages and looks at how far thetranslator can maintain the ST thematic development in the TT and,indeed, how desirable a goal that is.
