dc.description.abstract	Translating between typologically different languages most often involves altering the amount and type of manner information present in the source text. Whether manner is added or omitted in translated crime events, for instance, has been found to influence the audience’s judgments about the violence and their decisions on a possible punishment. However, the emotional impact on the audience has not been addressed yet. The present article reports on a reception study designed to test the emotional impact of loss of manner in the English-into-Spanish translation of domestic violence testimonies by including psychometric tests to measure audience’s positive and negative affect and emotional engagement with the text. Results reveal intriguing differences on the audience’s emotional impact and suggest that, beyond including or omitting manner, the type of crime event described in the text plays a crucial role.
