Erotic language is a phenomenon that addresses both the field of eroticism and sexuality through linguistic elements which are part of the author's style. There are difficulties in translating erotic language that lie in the comprehension and reexpression of these elements and its symbolic meanings, as well as in the sexual and erotic constructs of a given culture and ideology. Therefore, this research aims to analyze the English translation of Aphrodite: A Memoir of the Senses, a novel written in Spanish by Isabel Allende and translated by Margaret Sayers. The discursive analysis of the erotic language allows for understanding the characteristics of the style, voice and mode. Our aims consist of discovering how erotic language is presented in the source text and of identifying which are the strategies and techniques that Sayers chose for the translated version. We propose to apply the content analysis technique, so that linguistic elements of erotic language may be analyzed in the source text through a codification book. We also propose to elaborate index tabs to analyze the voice and mode at a macro-textual level. Furthermore, the contrastive textual analysis technique will be applied, so that selected fragments and elements may be compared and analyzed in both versions through index tabs. By this way, the strategies and techniques used by Sayers for the translation of erotic language in Aphrodite will be explained.
