AB English compound adjectives are a productive idiomatic resource usedto express detailed characterisation of nouns and this is particularly sowhen the second item is either a present/ gerund participle (-ing) or apast participle (-ed), as illustrated in the two examples in the title ofthis paper. However, “compounding is not a process which all languagesuse. Some languages, e.g. French and Spanish have little or nocompounding, while others, e.g. German and Dutch, make extensiveuse of compounding.” (Bybee 1985: 106). Due to the fact that compoundingis not such a common word-formation process in a moreanalytic language such as Spanish, other types of forms need to beused in translations to express these meanings.The corpus-based study reported on here makes use of empiricaldata from a parallel corpus of contemporary English texts and theircorresponding Spanish translations: P-ACTRES.2This paper describes the actual translation options found forEnglish compound adjectives in Spanish. First, the translations wereanalysed to identify the translation techniques employed in each case
