| Summary: | Language is an integral part of culture. The relationship between language and culture shows particularly in lexis. Idioms belong to the category of culturally-determined lexical units and are thus an obvious source of non-equivalence which cause diffi culties in the translation process. In the present article we fi rst analyse different classes of idioms according to the type of cultural motivation underlying them: a)reference to customs, historical events, literary works or beliefs; b) reference to cultural domains; c) presence of a metaphor entrenched in the target culture. We then focus on the different strategies used in the translation of culture-specifi c idioms (literal translation, adaptation or substitution, paraphrase).<br>La lengua es parte integrante de la cultura. La relaci&oacute;n entre lengua y cultura se refl eja principalmente en el l&eacute;xico. Las expresiones idiom&aacute;ticas constituyen una categor&iacute;a de unidades l&eacute;xicas marcadas culturalmente, y son, por tanto, fuente indiscutible de inequivalencias traductol&oacute;gicas que plantean problemas a la hora de ser transvasadas a otra lengua. En este art&iacute;culo analizamos en primer lugar diferentes clases de expresiones idiom&aacute;ticas en funci&oacute;n del tipo de motivaci&oacute;n cultural que est&aacute; en la ra&iacute;z de tales idiomatismos: a) alusi&oacute;n a costumbres, hechos hist&oacute;ricos, obras literarias o creencias; b) referencia a &aacute;mbitos culturales; c) presencia de una met&aacute;fora ligada a la cultura meta. A continuaci&oacute;n exponemos las diferentes estrategias utilizadas en la traducci&oacute;n de expresiones idiom&aacute;ticas culturalmente espec&iacute;fi cas (traducci&oacute;n literal, adaptaci&oacute;n o sustituci&oacute;n, y par&aacute;frasis). |
