Abstract

Texts in the field of scientific journalism frequently combine topics from one of the Sciences with a journalistic approach that adopts a human and social perspective on these topics. Therefore, many of these texts are of a hybrid nature, as they comprise informative as well as evaluative elements and a language that unites metaphorical elements and specialised terminology. In the translation process, all these aspects have to be taken into account and the translated text has to reflect the journalistic character of the text and, at the same time, employ a terminology adequate to the field of expertise as well as the target audience.
