A tradução de metáforas geradoras de humor na série televisiva Friends: um estudo de legendas

Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Estudos da TraduçãoEste estudo visa investigar a tradução de metáforas geradoras de humor no contexto da legendação. Pretende-se, também, descrever as escolhas tradutórias bem como discutir suas implicações diante do propósito humorístico do objeto de pesquisa. No decorrer da análise do corpus, composto de expressões metafóricas provenientes do seriado televisivo norte-americano Friends, buscou-se o procedimento tradutológico adotado mais freqüentemente em duas legendas: uma disponível em DVD e outra no site http://www.friendslegendas.cjb.net. A perspectiva adotada para a análise é descritivista à luz do modelo de tradução de metáforas de van den Broeck (1981) e da proposta de complementação de Toury (1995). Pôde-se constatar, neste estudo, que o procedimento predominante adotado nas duas traduções (DVD e site) foi o stricto sensu, isto é, transferir o tópico e o veículo do texto fonte para o texto alvo. This study aims at investigating the translation of metaphors that produce humor in the context of subtitling. Besides, we intend to describe the translation choices and discuss their implications considering the humorous purpose of the object of study. In the course of the corpus analysis, which is made up of metaphorical expressions originating from Friends - an American television mini-series - we searched for the most frequent translation strategy in the subtitles available on the DVD format and at the website http://www.friendslegendas.cjb.net. The descriptive perspective was adopted, and the analysis is based both on the model of metaphors translation developed by van den Broeck (1981) and its complementary proposal by Toury (1995). It was possible to conclude that stricto sensu - transfering both topic and vehicle from source text to target text - was the predominant strategy choosen by subtitlers from both the DVD and the website

Variações terminológicas no campo Tradução Audiovisual: análise dos termos legendação, legendagem e tradução de/para legendas.

This paper aims at both discussing and mapping terminology used in the Audiovisual Translation area with emphasis on subtitling. By focusing on three Portuguese technical terms (legendagem, legendação, tradução de/para legendas), data were collected from specialized texts published online. Data analysis shows that those terms are either used ambiguously or referring to different concepts. The results suggest an urgent demand for establishing terminological homogeneity in this research field in the Brazilian context.  Este artigo objetiva discutir e mapear, em publicações eletrônicas, a terminologia usada na Tradução Audiovisual, com ênfase no ramo da legendagem/legendação. A pesquisa foi realizada nos títulos de teses, dissertações e artigos com os termos legendagem, legendação e tradução de/para legendas. A análise revela uso indiscriminado dos termos, o que demonstra a necessidade premente de estabelecer homogeneidade terminológica neste campo de pesquisa acadêmica.

Tradução de Itens Culturais em Vidas Secas/Barren Lives: Uma Análise do Produto

Drawing on Descriptive Translation Studies and the concept of norms proposed by Toury (1995/2012), this study aims to analyze the translation of cultural items in the Brazilian novel Vidas Secas (1938), by Graciliano Ramos, and translated into English, Barren Lives (1999), by Ralph Edward Dimmick. More specifically, the study aims at a) identifying the predominant group of translation strategies - syntactic, semantic, or pragmatic – (Chesterman, 1997/2016) used to translate cultural items (Newmark, 1988); b) examining which strategy is the most predominant in the translation of cultural items and c) analyzing if the most predominantly strategy used is related to Toury’s notion of norms. Data collection consisted of four steps: 1) source text reading; 2) identification of cultural items in the source text followed by their insertion in an Excel spreadsheet; 3) target text reading; and 4) selection of the translation given to each cultural item followed by their insertion in the spreadsheet. Data analysis was carried out quantitatively and qualitatively. Results have shown that most strategies used by the translator belong to the pragmatic group. As for the most frequent type of strategy employed to translate the cultural items, the analysis has shown that most of them were translated through the use of Cultural filtering, which means the translator has adapted most of the items to functional or cultural equivalents in the target language. Using Cultural filtering (pragmatic strategy) indicates that the translator was influenced by norms of the target culture, based on ideas, values, and knowledge shared by an English-speaking community.Ancorado nos Estudos Descritivos da Tradução e no conceito de normas proposto por Toury (1995/2012), este estudo objetiva analisar a tradução de itens culturais no romance brasileiro Vidas Secas (1938) de Graciliano Ramos e em sua tradução para o inglês Barren lives (1999) por Ralph Edward Dimmick. Mais especificamente, objetivamos a) identificar o grupo predominante de estratégias de tradução - sintáticas, semânticas ou pragmáticas - (Chesterman, 1997/2016) utilizadas para traduzir itens culturais (Newmark, 1988); b) examinar qual estratégia predominou na tradução dos itens culturais e c) analisar se a estratégia predominante está relacionada ao conceito de normas proposto por Toury. A coleta de dados é composta por quatro passos: 1) leitura do texto fonte; 2) identificação dos itens culturais no texto fonte seguido de sua inserção em planilha Excel; 3) leitura do texto alvo; e 4) seleção da tradução de cada item cultural seguido de sua inserção na planilha. A análise dos dados foi realizada quantitativamente e qualitativamente. Os resultados mostram que a maioria das estratégias utilizadas pelos tradutores pertence ao grupo pragmático. Em relação ao tipo de estratégia utilizado mais frequentemente para traduzir os itens culturais, a análise revelou que a maioria deles foi traduzida por meio do Filtro Cultural, o que evidencia que o tradutor adaptou a maioria dos itens com o uso de equivalentes culturais ou funcionais na língua de chegada. A utilização do Filtro Cultural (estratégia pragmática) sugere que o tradutor foi influenciado pelas normas da cultura de chegada, baseando-se em ideias, valores e conhecimentos compartilhados pela comunidade falante de língua inglesa

Eyetracking and Applied Linguistics

Eyetracking has become a powerful tool in scientific research and has finally found its way into disciplines such as applied linguistics and translation studies, paving the way for new insights and challenges in these fields. The aim of the first International Conference on Eyetracking and Applied Linguistics (ICEAL) was to bring together researchers who use eyetracking to empirically answer their research questions. It was intended to bridge the gaps between applied linguistics, translation studies, cognitive science and computational linguistics on the one hand and to further encourage innovative research methodologies and data triangulation on the other hand. These challenges are also addressed in this proceedings volume: While the studies described in the volume deal with a wide range of topics, they all agree on eyetracking as an appropriate methodology in empirical research
