• Resumen

  • Set phrases put up resistance to translation because they are deeply rooted in culture and contain a metaphoric value. Set phrases existing in a source text are a dual problem for the translator: the translator must (1) recognize the set phrase in a text written in a foreign language and belonging to a foreign culture, and determine its limits in order to process it globally as one signifying unit, and (2) build its meaning by interpreting hints present in the context and conducting an inference process. This study shows the polysemous dimension of set phrases using the example of a usual phrasal verb in French: mettre la main sur.
