The influence of English on Italian translated texts: Corpus analysis of translated journal articles

The growing power and influence of the English language are the major reasons for linguistic changes in other languages. Various languages are changing their structure and acquiring new lexical items under the influence of the English language. In translations from English, this interference is even stronger. Different studies have analysed various types of translations in order to categorise the interference and discover which language levels are most susceptible to the influence of the source text. The present study analyses a corpus of newspaper articles translated from English into Italian in order to see which language level is most affected and whether these translated texts contain specific traits called translation universals. For a better overview, the translated articles were compared to their source text equivalents.
