Abstract
Realia are words and expressions for culture-specific items. As realia carry a very local overtone, they often represent a challenge for translators. They cannot be confused with terminology, as it is mainly used in scientific literature to designate things that pertain to the scientific sphere, and usually appears in other kinds of texts to serve a very specific stylistic purpose. Realia, instead, are born in popular culture, and are increasingly found in very diverse kinds of texts. One of its main purposes is to convey an exotic touch (fiction).
