There is now a noteworthy boost in the number of businesses which cater to tourists and in the number of rooms available. However, the traditional source markets - national clients - are slowing; therefore, the region of Castile and Leon needs to grow their national market to a wider international level. The purpose of this study is to analyze if the rural hospitality industry experiences cultural and language proficiency problems when hosting international travelers and, if so, to propose adequate solutions. A survey has been carried out among different workers of the sector in Castile and Leon. This needs analysis reveals that the hospitality industry lacks a mastery of English communication, which greatly limits the possibilities of the hospitality industry to effectively provide good service to international tourists. A possible soluti...

This lexicon provides equivalents of Spanish local culturally-loaded terms in English, French and Portuguese, the languages spoken by the vast majority of visitors to Castile and Leon. This tool will contribute to improve the communication in the catering industry in this region and will prove to be a user-friendly and time-saving device. More specifically, we have created this terminographic tool as a contribution to: (i) the understanding and fruitful communication between foreign visitors and local workforce; (ii) the specific language needs of this workforce involved in facilitating a pleasant stay to foreign travelers; (iii) the learning of the uses, needs and preferences of tourists; (iv) the avoidance of pitfalls in written texts-web pages, menus, letters, brochures, etc. Our lexicon consists of over 4,600 terms in Spanish and their equivalents in English, French and Portuguese.

Desarrollamos una ruta cultural como marco que aportará un significado pleno a estas huellas y vestigios, y fortalecerá la identidad del patrimonio cultural y turístico de la ruta. Además se ofrece un relato de distintos acontecimientos destacados que tuvieron lugar durante esos días y se hace referencia a monumentos históricos representativos algunos de ellos todavía en uso-relacionados con la visita de Napoleón. Este itinerario, de gran valor histórico, no ha sido suficientemente difundido, por lo que nuestro principal interés es potenciar sus hitos emblemáticos, que han sido testigos del paso de Napoleón durante su campaña.

Los textos analizados pertenecen a publicaciones medicas y linguisticas. Como base teorica previa al analisis se revisan aspectos en torno a la retorica contrastiva, el multiculturalismo y el genero. Los resultados indican que el discurso escrito del genero de los resumenes no presenta profundas diferencias culturales o de areas de conocimiento, debido a los convencionalismos multinacionales y a la universalidad existentes en este tipo de textos. A pesar de esto, si se definen una serie de diferencias entre los diversos grupos estudiados en cuanto a las diversas variables linguisticas y retoricas analizadas.

En este trabajo, a partir de un análisis contrastivo español-inglés de las referencias utilizadas para denominar los aspectos gustativos, así como sus colocaciones más frecuentes, basándonos en los datos de un corpus ad hoc comparable bilingüe, hemos detectado que la descripción del gusto hace referencia a cuatro aspectos fundamentales: al nivel de dulzor o acidez, a la evocación a distintos alimentos y bebidas, al perfume y al tacto. Además, dicha descripción va frecuentemente acompañada de amplificadores o mitigadores léxicos para expresar con precisión la mezcla de matices.

A possible solution to address this situation would be through education and training. Thus, with the information gathered through the survey, we have designed a program of English for Rural Tourism for the wooing of and catering to international tourists. We have taken into account the peculiarities of the region in terms of culture, heritage, environment and gastronomy, but also, different aspects of the acculturation of this industry are deemed.

More specifically we study some typical local dishes prepared with suckling lamb and we are particularly interested in the linguistic and cultural elements. We also review the translation from the Spanish version into the English and the French ones.

Sin embargo, no velan con el mismo esmero por la calidad de lo que primero encuentra el turista en un restaurante: la carta de platos. Ésta adolece de lagunas de comunicación, a las que se suman errores lingüísticos y culturales en su traducción, exigida por la normativa de Castilla y León. El análisis de las cartas demuestra que su traducción al inglés y francés es deficiente a nivel sintáctico, léxico y cultural, y que no se realiza en función del destinatario.
