Synopsis

This work aims to provide professionals, institutions and the general public with a style guide that sets out clear, agreed criteria on how to handle Chinese terms and references in a text written in Spanish, with a view to standardising their use. It is divided into twelve separate chapters, allowing readers to consult specific sections without having to read the entire work. The first five chapters cover general topics, whilst the remaining chapters are organised by theme. This is an essential reference work for anyone who either uses Chinese as their working language or comes into contact with it from time to time, such as students, translators, proofreaders and librarians, amongst others.
