          Abstract

          Resumo El comercio de las frutas frescas y hortalizas ha sufrido una gran transformación en los últimos años. Los hábitos de compra de los consumidores están muy condicionados por la oferta online, al proporcionar Internet una herramienta eficaz de comunicación y transacción. Las páginas Web de venta online de estos productos, además de incluir información precisa sobre sus características nutricionales, hacen especial hincapié en presentarlos de una forma atractiva, en base a las sensaciones gratas que producen al ser ingeridos. Este estudio analiza el lenguaje persuasivo, así como las colocaciones más frecuentes, en las referencias utilizadas para describir los aspectos gustativos en fichas descriptivas de peras y manzanas procedentes de páginas web de empresas hortofrutícolas. Hemos partido de un análisis contrastivo inglés-español de un corpus ad hoc comparable bilingüe. Observamos que se utiliza una terminología variada con una finalidad persuasiva, además de fraseología valorativa relativa al sabor. Éstas hacen referencia a cuatro aspectos fundamentalmente: (1) el placer que se experimenta al comer esta fruta; (2) las menciones a su sabor inconfundible, característico y único; (3) las alusiones al carácter divertido o festivo de su sabor; y (4) los comentarios sobre su grado de sabor, intensidad o autenticidad.

          Abstract The fresh fruit and vegetable trade has undergone a major transformation in recent years. Consumers' purchasing habits are highly conditioned by the online offer, as the Internet provides an efficient communication and transaction tool. In addition to including precise information on their nutritional characteristics, the online sales websites for these products place special emphasis on presenting them in an attractive way, based on the pleasant sensations they produce when ingested. This study analyzes persuasive language and the most frequent collocations in references used to describe the gustatory aspects in descriptive profiles of pears and apples found on websites of fruit companies. We conducted an English-Spanish contrastive analysis of a comparable bilingual ad hoc corpus. We observed that a varied terminology is used with a persuasive purpose, along with evaluative phraseology related to taste. These refer primarily to four aspects: (1) the pleasure experienced when consuming this fruit; (2) mentions of its unmistakable, characteristic and unique taste; (3) allusions to the enjoyable or festive nature of its flavor; and (4) comments regarding its level of taste, intensity or authenticity.
