Diferenças estilísticas do autotradutor João Ubaldo Ribeiro em Sergeant Getulio e An Invincible Memory

Este trabalho teve por objetivo analisar o estilo de João Ubaldo Ribeiro enquanto autotradutor e também compará-lo ao seu estilo enquanto autor, por meio de um corpus paralelo formado pelas obras Sargento Getúlio/Sergeant Getulio e Viva o povo brasileiro/An invincible memory. A fundamentação teórica apoia-se na abordagem interdisciplinar proposta por Camargo (2005, 2007) envolvendo os estudos de tradução baseados em corpus (Baker, 1996, 2000, 2004) e a linguística de corpus (Berber Sardinha, 2004). Para uma observação do seu perfil estilístico, procurei identificar usos linguísticos característicos e individuais, ou seja, traços de seu comportamento linguístico relacionados à variação vocabular. Quanto aos resultados, foi possível observar que, enquanto participante como autotradutor, Ubaldo Ribeiro revela um padrão estilístico distintivo e preferencial que apresenta menor variação lexical. Em contraste, na situação de participante como autor, Ubaldo Ribeiro mostra padrões estilísticos com maior variação. A diversidade de vocabulário já era esperada para o escritor João Ubaldo, uma vez que a crítica literária enfatiza a sua habilidade na exploração do verbo brasileiro. Ao considerar a forma padronizada como uma indicação do uso que o autotradutor faz da linguagem, pode-se destacar, apesar da influência de possíveis variáveis, que a diferença menor registrada para Sergeant Getulio (3,69) e acentuadamente mais baixa para An invincible memory (4,73) constituem marcas significativas da utilização dos padrões estilísticos próprios desse tradutor de si mesmo, revelando o impacto da extensão dessas diferenças em contraste com a escrita do autor, respectivamente em Sargento Getúlio e Viva o povo brasileiro.

Uma investigação de aspectos de normalização na autotradução An Invincible Memory

This paper aims at observing the particular case of an author’s and self-translator’s style concerning normalisation features present in the self-translation. Our study has its theoretical starting point based on Baker’s proposal (1993, 1995, 1996, 2000) and Scott’s investigation in order to carry out an analysis of the use of linguistic choices involving evidence of normalization. The results point out that, while participating as a self-translator, Ubaldo Ribeiro reveals individual, distinctive and preferred stylistic options which present less lexical variation; in contrast, in the situation of participating as an author, Ubaldo Ribeiro shows stylistic choices of higher lexical diversity. Observed normalisation features reveal conscious or subconscious use of fluency strategies, making the target text easier to read. Due to his renowned sound command of the target language, the results may also suggest the challenges during the translated text re-creation process faced as a self-translator could have been greater than the challenges during the previous original text creation process faced as an author

Análise de marcadores culturais no par de obras Relato de um certo oriente e The tree of the seventh heaven

This paper presents some results of a study on culturally marked terms in a corpus composed by the Brazilian novel Relato de um certo oriente (1989), by Milton Hatoum, and its translation into English The tree of the seventh heaven, by Ellen Watson. For the analysis of culturally marked terms, we followed the interdisciplinary approach proposed by Camargo (2005, 2007) involving corpus-based translation studies (BAKER, 1993, 1995, 1996, 2000), and the investigations of cultural domains (NIDA, 1945; AUBERT, 1981, 2006). The methodology adopted in the present research required the software WordSmith Tools (SCOTT, 2007), which provides the necessary resources for the collection of data in a corpus of translated texts. The software tool called WordList was used for the selection of the most frequent words in the texts and also for the identification of the culturally marked terms. For the analysis of the culturally marked terms in both texts we used the software tool Concord. The results revealed that most of the culturally marked terms are inserted in the ecological domain, and the other terms are distributed in the domains of material, social and ideological culture, which reflects the theme of the book.

Tendências de normalização na tradução para o inglês da obra As Mulheres de Tijucopapa

The present essay aims at observing possible tendencies of normalization by the translator Irene Matthews in the translation to English from As mulheres de Tijucopapo, by Marilene Felinto. The methodology employed is that of corpus-based translation studies (proposed by BAKER, 1993, 1995, 1996, 2000; SCOTT’s study concerning normalization, 1998; and CAMARGO’s research studies, 2005, 2007), and that of corpus linguistics (BERBER SARDINHA’s studies, 2003, 2004). The investigation was carried out by means of a combination of semi-manual and computerized analyses using the computer software WordSmith Tools. Based on Scott (1998), we analyzed the translation of five words considered to be preferred by the author, as well as their co-text, in relation to three normalization features. The final results obtained in this study show that the translator Irene Matthews tends to use strategies that may be identified as features of normalization.

Os labirintos da memória em Orfãos do Eldorado de Milton Hatoum

This article aims to analyze aspects of Orfãos do Eldorado (2008), by Milton Hatoum, to elucidate the plot construction by the use of memory, which articulates three narrative perspectives: the mythic, the social-historic and the mythic-social-personal. This process presents as a result a textual configuration marked by a contemporary diction, by the creative work and by a certain lyricism that allows us to say, as Tania Pellegrini and Alfredo Bosi, that there is a ‘revisitated’ regionalism in this author work.

O estilo de João Ubaldo Ribeiro em Viva o Povo Brasileiros e An Invincible Memory

This paper aims at observing a particular case of an author’s and self-translator’s style in the pair of works Viva o Povo Brasileiro and An Invincible Memory. Our investigation has its theoretical starting point based on Corpus-Based Translation Studies (Baker, 1993, 1995, 1996, 2000; Camargo, 2005, 2007), and works on cultural domains (Nida, 1945; Aubert, 1981, 2006). The results showed that great part of cultural marks may be classified as the material, social, and ideological cultural domains, which reflects the context of the source text. It was also possible to observe that normalization features tends to reveal conscious or unconscious use of fluency strategies by the self-translator, making the translated text easier to read.

A tradução dos olhos em Clarice Lispector: uma investigação baseada em corpus

This investigation has as an objective to observe the translation of the word “eyes” and its collocates, in similar and (re)used fragments extracted from two books written by Clarice Lispector, A Descoberta do Mundo, translated by Giovanni Pontiero as Discovering the World and Uma Aprendizagem ou o Livro dos Prazeres, translated by Richard A. Mazzara and Lorri A. Parris as An Apprenticeship or The Book of Delights.Another objective is to identify aspects of normalization found in the respective translations of these fragments. The metodology is situated in the field of Corpus-based Translation Studies, (proposed by Baker, 1993, 1995, 1996, 1999, 2004; studies on normalization by de Scott, 1998); research and project by Camargo 2003a, 2003b, 2004, 2008), and in Corpus Linguistics (studies by Berber Sardinha, 2004); also, it is based on the author’s critical heritage (studies by Gotlib, 1993, 2009; Nunes, B., 1995; Sant‘Anna, 1997; Ruggero 2000; Sá, O., 2000; Franco Júnior, 2000; Ranzolin (1985), Varin, 2002; e Cherem, 2003). The results found in this research enabled to carry out a comparative study among the respective translators concerning tendencies to normalization and show Pontiero’s smaller tendency in relation to the couple of translators Richard A. Mazzara e Lorri A. Parris.
