  Abstract:  Verbs and Idioms. The Linguistic and/or Cultural Shift. The study analyses the partial or total shift in meaning which occurs in the forward and back translation of idioms from English into Romanian. This shift takes place on different levels depending of the specificity of the two languages. These levels are of a semantic, grammatical or pragmatic nature. The study will also focuss on the changes occurring when a componential transposition -mainly of the verbal component- is attempted.
