Le collocazioni in traduzione e interpretazione tra italiano e francese: Uno studio su eptic_01_2011

This dissertation aims at investigating differences in phraseological patterns in translated and interpreted language, on the basis of the intermodal corpus EPTIC_01_2011 and focusing on Italian and French. First of all, an overview is offered of the main studies and theories about corpus linguistics and collocations: the notion of corpus is defined and a typology (focusing on intermodal corpora) is presented, before moving on to the linguistic phenomenon of collocation and its investigation through corpus linguistics methods. Second, the general structure of EPTIC_01_2011 is presented, including the ways in which its texts have been assembled, edited through ad hoc conventions and enriched with metadata. The methodology proposed by Durrant and Schmitt (2009), slightly edited to fit the present study, has been used to extract and compare noun+adjective/adjective+noun bigrams from a quantitative point of view. A subset of these data have then been extracted and analysed manually. The results of the study are presented through graphs and examples, with an in-depth discussion of the bigrams considered. Lastly, the data collected are analysed and categorised in terms of shifts occurring in translation and in interpreting, potential causes are discussed and ideas for further research and for the development of the EPTIC corpus are sketched.

Le collocazioni in traduzione e interpretazione tra italiano e inglese: Uno studio su eptic_01_2011

The aim of this dissertation is to investigate the differences in the phraseological patterns used by Italian and English translators and interpreters through the intermodal corpus EPTIC_01_2011. First, the most important studies and theories about corpus linguistics and collocations are introduced. After defining the notion of “corpus”, the different types of corpora are categorised, giving particular attention to the intermodal one. Then the dissertation focuses on a description of collocations, as defined by the main linguistics scholars, and it describes some attempts to apply corpus linguistics to the study of collocations. Secondly, EPTIC_01_2011 is presented, with a description of its structure and of the text editing process carried out applying specific editing conventions and adding a set of metadata before each text. The analysis of collocation candidate bigrams (adjective+noun/noun+adjective) from a quantitative point of view, was conducted applying a methodology adapted from Durrant and Schmitt (2009). Qualitative analysis was also performed on a subsection of the data. The results of the study are presented through examples and graphs, giving particular attention to the interpretation of the data analysed from a qualitative perspective. Finally, results are summarised and categorised, and suggestions are made concerning the diverging choices made in translation and interpreting. The final section concentrates on further studies that could be carried out in the future, as well as on suggestions for corpus enlargement.

"La scienza in cucina e l'arte di mangiar bene" di Pellegrino Artusi. Proposta di glossario culinario italiano-russo

L'obiettivo della tesi è la compilazione del glossario culinario italiano-russo che “racchiudere” termini culinari artusiani e propone una versione russa basandosi anche sulla traduzione parziale del libro in lingua russa. La tesi si divide in sette parti: introduzione, capitoli primo, secondo, terzo e quarto, conclusione e bibliografia. Il primo capitolo introduce la figura di Pellegrino Artusi con brevi cenni sulla sua vita e tratteggia, altresì, le peripezie ed il successo internazionale della sua opera ed il suo approdo in Russia. Il secondo capitolo è dedicato alla ricerca terminologica e alle fasi propedeutiche alla creazione del glossario. Inoltre, vengono spiegate le risorse usate per la creazione dei corpora. Avendo a disposizione la traduzione parziale de “La scienza in cucina e l'arte di mangiar bene” in russo (traduzione di I. Alekberova) fornita dalla Casa Artusi, si cerca di spiegare la scelta dei termini italiani messi a confronto con quelli esistenti nella traduzione russa. Il terzo capitolo introduce il glossario stesso preceduto da una breve spiegazione. Ogni “entrata” contiene il termine, la sua categoria grammaticale e la sua definizione in entrambe le lingue, seguita nella maggior parte dei casi dalle collocazioni o dagli esempi d'uso oppure dai sinonimi. Il quarto capitolo presenta commenti alla compilazione del glossario. Qui vengono analizzati i problemi riscontrati durante la fase compilativa, si presentano le soluzioni trovate e si forniscono esempi concreti. Ci sono anche commenti alle voci non presenti nel glossario. Infine, vi è una breve conclusione del percorso affrontato seguita dalla bibliografia e dalla sitografia. ENGLISH The purpose of this dissertation is to present a bilingual Italian-Russian glossary based on the culinary terms drawn from Artusi's cooking book "The Science of Cooking and the Art of Fine dining". The dissertation consists of an introduction, 4 chapters, conclusions and a list of bibliography. An introduction presents an overview of the entire dissertation. The first chapter includes a presentation of Pellegrino Artusi, brief introduction to his life, his book and the success it has had around the world and mainly in Russia. The second chapter focuses on the creation and use of comparable and parallel corpora that have been created ad hoc for the purpose of the glossary. It also describes the different programs that have been used in order to select the terminology. The third chapter presents the structure of the bilingual culinary glossary followed by the glossary itself. Each entry contains the term, its gramatical category and the definition in both languages followed by, in most but not all cases, collocation, synonyms and additional notes. The fourth chapter presents an analysis of the compilation of the glossary combined with comments and examples. This chapter is followed by final conclusions of the present dissertation. The last part contains a bibliography that includes all the resources that have been used for the completion of this dissertation followed by the webliography.
