Abstract

This paper is an analysis of the stylistic function of phraseology in three contemporary novels, originally written in English —Enduring Love, by Ian McEwan; The Road, by Cormac McCarthy; and Midnight’s Children, by Salman Rushdie—, and their corresponding translations into Catalan —Amor perdurable, La carretera and Els fills de la mitjanit. Taking into account some theoretical reflections on phraseology and translation, and by comparing the original novels and their translations, in this article we analyze some examples of phraseological units (PUs) that play a significant stylistic role and we also examine the techniques used by professional translators when faced with this sort of PUs.
