MUNOZ TORRES, Carlos Arturo; HURTADO ALBIR, Amparo  and  RODRIGUEZ INES, Patricia. Integrative proposal for the identification of multiple text functions in medical genres. Study of the Case Report genre. Leng. [online]. 2012, vol.40, n.1, pp.159-182. ISSN 0120-3479.

This paper aims at identifying text functions from a Translation Studies perspective. A methodology of functional identification is proposed in a Spanish - English comparable corpora of the Case Report genre. The integrative methodology is described based on Hatim (1997) and Jabbour (1997). The proposal of functions is taken from Hatim, except that of argumentation; the latter is adopted from Jabbour, defined as text interaction of text averrals and text attributions. Our methodology of functions is explained and the resulting functions are presented: argumentation (dominant function), exposition and instruction (subsidiary functions). The resulting functions are discussed and some conclusions are presented

Keywords : Translation Studies; text functions (text types); integrative methodology; comparable corpus; Case Report genre.
