Abstract

This article presents the results of an experimental study on the acquisition of the clitic se by Dutch-speaking students of Spanish as a foreign language in the third year of the Department of Translation, Interpretation and Communication at the University of Ghent. Based on a sequence taken from the anglophone film The Help (Taylor, 2011), one group of 35 Belgian participants carried out two tasks: an intersemiotic translation (they created an audio description script) and an interlingual translation (they translated the English dialogues into Spanish).
