TRADUCIR HOMBRES DE MAÍZ DE MIGUEL ÁNGEL ASTURIAS
Translating Hombres de maíz by Miguel Ángel Asturias

Summary/Abstract: Many scholars have attempted to clarify the problematic language used by Miguel Ángel Asturias in Men of Maize. The most outstanding research in this respect was performed by professors Gerald Martin and Giovanni Meo Zilio. However, the language of the novel is still obscure from various points of view. Difficulties refer to: the use of popular language, fraught with Guatemalan sayings and idioms, puns or the pronunciation of a character with speech disorder.
