Abstract: Offensive and taboo language is becoming more and more frequent in audiovisual productions, but the number of studies on this subject is still limited, which hinders the translator's work, often making translators resort to unnatural and literal solutions in the target language. This is the case of 'fucking', which, despite being one of the most widespread swear words in English-speaking cultures, its translation is not yet systematised in dictionaries, since the information that they provide is partial (Rojo López and Valenzuela Manzanares, 2000). For this reason, this paper aims at exploring the translation of this term in the corpus of the American film 'Malcolm & Marie', focusing on the transfer of the offensive load, the syntactic possibilities of its translation and its most frequent equivalents. Such analysis is framed in the context of subtitling, which is characterised by specific spatio-temporal restrictions that determine translation decisions. To approach this study, in-depth research on audiovisual translation, subtitling and offensive and taboo language has been carried out. In this regard, a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the corpus cases has been conducted based on the translation parameters proposed by Ávila-Cabrera (2015b) for the transfer of the offensive load, and Rojo López and Valenzuela Manzanares (2000) for the syntactic possibilities to translate the term 'fucking'.
