Abstract

This paper is partly based on my book Problemas de la traducción técnica. Los textos médicos en inglés published in 1994 by the University of Alicante. I want to discuss technical translation and Pragmatics and, more specifically, the problems I have observed in the translation of medical texts from English into Spanish
