Segmentação cognitiva de tradutores em formação: observação de comportamento tradutório de estudantes alemães

The project “Investigating the translation competence of apprentices in training: data collection and contrasting analysis of research results at German and Brazilian university” (PVB10375-2019) sought to contribute to studies on translation competence (PACTE, 2003, 2005, 2008). From August 2019 to July 2020, the data collected in Germany in 2018 (Leipnitz & Pickbrenner, 2020) were systematized and compared with first results of the longitudinal study carried out in the Translation Course at UFPB in Brazil (Liparini Campos et al., 2015; Liparini Campos & Leipnitz, 2017; Liparini Campos et al., 2017). This paper presents an analysis of the cognitive segmentation process of German students in carrying out a translation task, organized for applied research in 2018. Data collection in Leipzig was attended by 23 subjects that translated a short technical-scientific text in the abstract format. In this, 05 students translated from English into German, the same text used in the study carried out in Brazil in 2014. Translog recorded the translation process and the steps presented here correspond to: 1) analysis of the text segmentation; 2) classification of the segments in Word, Syntagma, Clause, Clausal Complex, Transentential or Non-Syntactic Segment, according to Dragsted (2004), Rodrigues (2009), and Pimentel Neto and Liparini Campos (2017); 3) analysis of the average size of the segments produced; 4) comparison with the segmentation results of Brazilian students. The initial hypothesis that suggests similar cognitive processing among German and Brazilian students in the beginning of Translation training, was confirmed. Similar behaviours were observed by the apprentices, still attached to the source text and with more expressive cognitive segmentation in categories such as Word, Syntagma and Clause. The analysis of the cognitive segmentation of Translation apprentices was revealed to the participants of the research project as a methodological possibility in the translators training.O projeto Investigando a competência tradutória de aprendizes em formação: levantamento de dados e análise contrastiva de resultados de pesquisas em universidade alemã e brasileira (PVB10375-2019) buscou contribuir com estudos sobre competência tradutória (PACTE, 2003, 2005, 2008). De agosto de 2019 a julho de 2020, foram sistematizados dados colhidos na Alemanha em 2018 (Leipnitz & Pickbrenner, 2020) e comparados com resultados da primeira coleta de estudo longitudinal no Curso de Tradução da UFPB (Liparini Campos et al., 2015; Liparini Campos & Leipnitz, 2017; Liparini Campos et al., 2017). Apresentam-se aqui as análises dos processos de segmentação cognitiva de estudantes alemães na realização de tarefa tradutória, organizada para a pesquisa aplicada em 2018. Participaram da coleta em Leipzig 23 sujeitos, que traduziram um texto técnico-científico curto no formato abstract. Cinco estudantes traduziram do inglês para o alemão o texto anteriormente utilizado na coleta no Brasil em 2014. O processo tradutório desses sujeitos foi registrado pelo Translog e as etapas aqui apresentadas correspondem a: 1) análise da segmentação do texto pelo registro das pausas; 2) classificação dos segmentos em Palavra, Sintagma, Oração, Complexo Oracional, Transentencial ou Não Sintático, de acordo com Dragsted (2004), Rodrigues (2009) e Pimentel Neto e Liparini Campos (2017); 3) análise do tamanho médio dos segmentos produzidos; 4) comparação com resultados da segmentação de estudantes brasileiros na primeira coleta na UFPB. A hipótese inicial de processamento cognitivo semelhante entre estudantes alemães e brasileiros em início de formação em Tradução foi confirmada. Observaram-se aprendizes com comportamentos tradutórios semelhantes, presos ao texto de partida e com segmentação cognitiva mais expressiva em categorias como Palavra, Sintagma e Oração. As análises da segmentação cognitiva de aprendizes de Tradução revelaram-se, aos participantes do projeto de pesquisa, como possibilidade metodológica na formação de tradutores

Brazilian Flora 2020: Leveraging the power of a collaborative scientific network

International audienceThe shortage of reliable primary taxonomic data limits the description of biological taxa and the understanding of biodiversity patterns and processes, complicating biogeographical, ecological, and evolutionary studies. This deficit creates a significant taxonomic impediment to biodiversity research and conservation planning. The taxonomic impediment and the biodiversity crisis are widely recognized, highlighting the urgent need for reliable taxonomic data. Over the past decade, numerous countries worldwide have devoted considerable effort to Target 1 of the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC), which called for the preparation of a working list of all known plant species by 2010 and an online world Flora by 2020. Brazil is a megadiverse country, home to more of the world's known plant species than any other country. Despite that, Flora Brasiliensis, concluded in 1906, was the last comprehensive treatment of the Brazilian flora. The lack of accurate estimates of the number of species of algae, fungi, and plants occurring in Brazil contributes to the prevailing taxonomic impediment and delays progress towards the GSPC targets. Over the past 12 years, a legion of taxonomists motivated to meet Target 1 of the GSPC, worked together to gather and integrate knowledge on the algal, plant, and fungal diversity of Brazil. Overall, a team of about 980 taxonomists joined efforts in a highly collaborative project that used cybertaxonomy to prepare an updated Flora of Brazil, showing the power of scientific collaboration to reach ambitious goals. This paper presents an overview of the Brazilian Flora 2020 and provides taxonomic and spatial updates on the algae, fungi, and plants found in one of the world's most biodiverse countries. We further identify collection gaps and summarize future goals that extend beyond 2020. Our results show that Brazil is home to 46,975 native species of algae, fungi, and plants, of which 19,669 are endemic to the country. The data compiled to date suggests that the Atlantic Rainforest might be the most diverse Brazilian domain for all plant groups except gymnosperms, which are most diverse in the Amazon. However, scientific knowledge of Brazilian diversity is still unequally distributed, with the Atlantic Rainforest and the Cerrado being the most intensively sampled and studied biomes in the country. In times of “scientific reductionism”, with botanical and mycological sciences suffering pervasive depreciation in recent decades, the first online Flora of Brazil 2020 significantly enhanced the quality and quantity of taxonomic data available for algae, fungi, and plants from Brazil. This project also made all the information freely available online, providing a firm foundation for future research and for the management, conservation, and sustainable use of the Brazilian funga and flora
