Lunfardo is an urban slang typical of the Río de la Plata region in Argentina. The works of Cortázar analysed for the purpose of this paper are: Rayuela (Hopscotch) and Torito, a short story which contains a comparatively large number of Lunfardisms. The paper examines how Lunfardo, a sociolinguistic phenomenon closely linked to Argentina and its culture, is reflected in the translation into Polish. It also identifies the strategies and techniques chosen by the translator and examines to what extent Chądzyńska allows the Polish reader to become aware of the existence of Lunfardo.  VL - Tom 20 (2020) IS - Tom 20, Numer 4 PY - 2020 SN - 1732-8705 C1 - 2084-3917 SP - 175 EP - 187 DO - 10.4467/20843917RC.20.017.13303 UR - https://ejournals.eu/czasopismo/romanica-cracoviensia/artykul/la-traduccion-del-argot-el-lunfardo-en-las-versiones-polacas-de-rayuela-y-torito-de-julio-cortazar KW - Lunfardo KW - slang KW - literary translation KW - Julio Cortázar KW - Zofia Chądzyńska
