Description
The paper seeks to expand the rare scientific production on proper names in translation and interpreting studies, using a non-English-centric language pair with a medium level of resources (German > Spanish) and a nonprototypical field (tourist translation). It compiles a bilingual comparable corpus from the official website of the Baden-Württemberg Tourism Department, on which manual Named Entity Recognition (NER) and annotation were performed. Results yielded that LOC (Location) and MISC (Miscellaneous) entities are the most frequent in both languages, but general numbers drop dramatically in Spanish. The combined use of names with paralinguistic signs such as brackets and inverted commas is also quantified and discussed cross-linguistically.
