Abstract
As an economic sector, creative industries include all human activities associated with creativity, and they comprise a modern phenomenon which contributes significantly to the sustainment of economic growth and employment in a world afflicted by the financial and economic crisis. It is for these reasons that they have become a part of the EU agenda, where they are seen as connected to the cultural industries (CCI). Discussions focused on the creative economy are increasingly included in legislators’ speeches and EU working and legislative materials filled with the new terminology of this field. The philosophy of creative industries and of the creative economy has its origins in the Anglophone world and this is also reflected in the key CCI terminology. As intercultural and interlingual mediators, interpreters and translators are confronted with this fact in their work and offer information to the intended recipient in the language of the target culture. In the EU’s case, this means more than 20 working languages. In this paper, we focus on two of them – Slovak, French – and we will point out the specifics of translation of borrowed lexical units (Anglicisms). We also briefly describe the efforts to establish an innovative university programme focused on the multilingual processing of information.
