Summary/Abstract: The present article explores the issue of translating elements of LSP embedded in a literary text. Using the novel De verdovers by the Dutch author Anna Enquist as an example, it examines, how the translator of the work into German addressed elements of medical language in her strategic approach to the text in the translation process. Drawing on the paradigm of anthropocentric translatorics as well as the assumptions of scenes-and-frames semantics, which constitute the theoretical and methodological foundation of the presented analysis, the article scrutinises possible motivations behind the translator's decisions that contributed to the resolution of translation problems.
