LEXIS WHICH IS NECESSARY FOR SOCIALIZATION, INFORMATION AND THE EXPRESSION OF ATTITUDES

Thanks to our good friend, Anon of Andalusia, for this excerpt from the requirements for those wishing to participate in public exams in order to become a teacher (bolds and caps original):

Topic 11: LEXICAL AND SEMANTIC FIELDS IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE. LEXIS WHICH IS NECESSARY FOR SOCIALIZATION, INFORMATION AND THE EXPRESSION OF ATTITUDES. TYPOLOGY OF ACTIVITIES LINKED TO THE TEACHING AND LEARNING OF THE LEXIS IN THE CLASS OF FOREIGN LANGUAGE.

INTRODUCTION.

Those curricula based on functional methodology centre learning on the the knowledge and mastery of a number of communicative functions. These functions, which are shown by the means of syntactic and lexical and lexical exponents, arise from the multiple communicative needs in the different situations in which a speaker may find himself…

And thus for 60 pages. I had my doubts at first because it sounded pretty close to Standard American Educational Bureaucratese, but no, this is real, true, fucked Spanglish.

So it’s really just as well that the job will probably go to the candidate most closely related to functionary in charge of the process.

Föcked Translation (414): I posted to a light-hearted blog called Fucked Translation over on Blogger from 2007 to 2016, when I was often in Barcelona. Its original subtitle was "What happens when Spanish institutions and businesses give translation contracts to relatives or to some guy in a bar who once went to London and only charges 0.05€/word." I never actually did much Spanish-English translation (most of my work is from Dutch, French and German) but I was intrigued and amused by the hubristic Spanish belief, then common, that nepotism and quality went hand in hand, and by the nemeses that inevitably followed.
