Calquing is a translation technique that includes literal or word-for-word translation from the source language (SL) to the target language (TL). This literal translation or reproduction can be manifested through different types of calques: direct, partial, semi-calques and semantic calques. First three types of calques refer to the reproduction of the SL structure and will include the analysis of relevant phrasal expressions. Semantic calques are created through reproduction of the SL lexical meaning and will include the analysis of both phrases and individual words. All four types of calqued expressions in Bosnian will be explained and illustrated with the examples from selected corpus. The corpus includes the following: 1) contemporary textbook Economic Development by Michael P. Todaro and Stephen C. Smith and its translation into Bosnian, and 2) Media Handbook prepared by the Delegation of the EU to BiH in both English and Bosnian. The expected outcome of the research is an illustration of significant percentage of Bosnian economic and EU terminology occurring as a result of direct translation technique from English – calquing.
