Cuando la variedad diatópica se erige excepcionalmente en norma traductológica

Abstract

The book Informes y memorias consulares de Sabino Berthelot (1847-1874) is a compilation of governmental documents written by the consular agent, and then consul, of France in the Canary Islands, Sabino Berthelot, during his second stay in this Archipelago. This paper will discuss the reasons why this book can be considered exceptional in several ways, the fact of having chosen the Canarian linguistic variety of the Spanish as target language being the most prominent one.
