A prática contemporânea de tradução com auxílio de sistemas de memórias e os limites da responsabilidade do tradutor

This paper analyzes the growing adoption of translation tools by the contemporary translator working for markets such as the localization industry. The fast turnaround pace of translation of electronic texts ends up conditioning the employment of translators to their ability to use the resources provided by tools such as translation memories systems efficiently. These systems, as envisioned in their early conception, would allow users to increase productivity and, simultaneously, standardize their terminological production. Seeking to go beyond the predominantly descriptive approaches of these tools, some theoretical assumptions upholding the use of translation memories are examined. From this perspective, the translator’s involvement with the work in progress is analyzed, mainly when this professional is part of a larger process of production and distribution of information by electronic means and for diverse audiences. Ultimately, the consequences of the employment of these tools are taken into consideration, such as those between translator/translation and translator/client, as well as the extension of the responsibility of the translator dedicated to developing partially automated translations.

Os Statalismes - particularismos lexicais do francês da Suíça na tradução juramentada

Este estudo, de natureza teórica/aplicada, contempla os estudos (sócio) linguísticos, (sócio) terminológicos, do léxico e da tradução especializada. Tem como objeto de estudo um corpus de textos submetidos à tradução/versão juramentada francês-português e um corpus de textos originalmente redigidos em francês da Suíça. O objetivo é observar as aproximações e distanciamentos existentes entre o primeiro e o segundo conjunto terminológico. A problemática situa-se na verificação da confrontação desse material: será que os particularismos lexicais do francês suíço determinariam uma dificuldade relevante no trabalho do tradutor brasileiro, cuja formação privilegia o francês da França? Nossos resultados revelam diferenças significativas de uso e perigosos falsos cognatos. A metodologia para o levantamento dos particularismos na variante suíça presentes em documentos civis ou escolares privilegia os termos cognatos e aqueles com o status de ‘statalismes’ (romandismos institucionais).

Uso de empréstimos na tradução de termos na área do sensoriamento remoto: uma análise baseada em corpus

Como o empréstimo de palavras ocorre em praticamente todas as línguas, o objetivo desta pesquisa foi examinar um corpus paralelo na área de sensoriamento remoto para analisar termos simples, complexos e compostos traduzidos por meio de empréstimo linguístico. Esta investigação baseou-se na abordagem adotada por CAMARGO (2005, 2007), a qual se apóia nos Estudos da Tradução Baseados em Corpus (BAKER, 1995, 1996; TOGNINI-BONELLI, 2001), na Linguística de Corpus (BERBER SARDINHA, 2004) e, em parte, na Terminologia (BARROS; KRIEGER & FINATTO, 2004). Para a extração dos dados foi utilizado o programa WordSmith Tools, versão 6.0 (SCOTT, 2012). No tocante aos resultados, foram encontrados termos traduzidos por meio de empréstimos com explicitação, quando de sua primeira utilização no texto.

Babel subjetiva ou a mais completa tradução: considerações sobre Budapeste de Chico Buarque

This paper discusses aspects of Budapest, by Chico Buarque, published in 2003. In the novel, a contingency takes the protagonist, a Brazilian, to Hungary. There, involved within a culture quite distinct from his, he has experiences in a strange language, which “even the devil respects”, and with an interesting woman, who teaches him the language. Both, language and woman, turns into mirrors that refract and put his subjective experience, as babelic as the Hungarian, up side down. Considering contingency as a category from the Real (Lacan) and translation as mechanism of subjective search of a blot origin (Derrida), at the same time transcreation (Haroldo de Campos), we will pinpoint some ways to the novel reading.

Tradução anotada, autor-tradutor invisível: Richard Francis Burton na Brasiliana

The aim of this paper is to analyze the translation of the work by the translator-traveller Richard Francis Burton, Explorations of the Highlands of the Brazil, with a full account of the gold and diamond mines, made by Américo Jacobina Lacombe, trying to relate the work of the latter to the editorial goals of the Brasiliana Collection. As a subseries of the Biblioteca Pedagógica Brasileira [Brazilian Pedagogical Library] published by Companhia Editora Nacional, Brasiliana was conceived in agreement with the 1930s and 1940s policies to expand lay education and make it possible for Brazilians to get to better know the greatness of their country. The paper will focus on the numerous translator’s notes, since many of them reveal Lacombe’s didactic purpose of informing readers about Brazilian history and geography. The analysis also examines the effacement of Burton’s translations from Portuguese into English in his book.

Antropologia da Civilização: um estudo da tradução para o inglês de termos simples, expressões fixas e semifixas recorrentes em duas obras de Darcy Ribeiro

The main purpose of this article is to investigate the most frequent simple terms as well as fixed and semi-fixed expressions in Social Anthropology of Civilization subarea in Portuguese and their corresponding terms in English, found in two works written by the anthropologist Darcy Ribeiro. The methodology used is that of Corpus-Based Translation Studies (BAKER, 1995, 1996, 1997; CAMARGO, 2005, 2007), Corpus Linguistics (BERBER SARDINHA, 2004) and Terminology (BARROS, 2004; KRIEGER &FINATTO, 2004). Results show that there are similarities and differences among the use of the terms in the main subcorpora composed of source and target texts and in the comparable corpora in Portuguese and in English. This data indicate that terms and expressions are not univocal in the anthropological language due to the differences in the conceptualization of the same referents by different specialists in the area.

A noção de equivalência e a sua especificidades na tradução juramentada

We propose in our study a reflection on “functional equivalence” based on a comparative/ terminological bilingual (Portuguese from Brazil/ French from France) approach of specialized texts (certified) due to difficulties that are aggravated by particularities from Switzerland French. A presentation of the equivalence notion in translation theories is necessary to introduce the central issue of this article, namely, to show that “the functional equivalence” seems, in the case of the specialized translation, most appropriate. This happen because legal terms and/or legal gifts in official documents are, in its essence, culturally marked, presenting a direction or different use, even though improper in countries that speak the same language, such as France and Switzerland.

Tecnologias de tradução: implicações éticas para a prática tradutória

Dilemas na tradução de Muse & Drudge (Musa E Mula), de Harryette Mullen: negritude, dissonância e miscigenação

This paper aims to discuss a project of translating part of the work Muse & Drudge, by the award-winning African-American poet Harryette Mullen, into Brazilian Portuguese, with focus on a single poem. In Muse & Drudge Mullen combines cultural critique with humor, lyricism and punning, which has unfolded the frontiers between cultural and racial identity, and has put into question the opposition between popular and high culture. This work analyzes to which extent the proposed translation produces a new set of intertextual relations that might culminate in “unexpected” meanings. It is a goal to understand how the effects of such “unexpected” meanings reveal the “encounter” between the so-called racial “black/white” dichotomy, predominant in the US culture, and the notion of “miscegenation” and “racial democracy” in Brazil.

Investigando a tradução de acrônimos e siglas da área de sensoriamento remoto: uma proposta do ponto de vista fraseológico

The aim is to analyze a corpus of remote sensing in order to identify acronyms in English and then search for their equivalents in Portuguese. The research is based on the approach of Corpus-Based Translation Studies (BAKER, 1995), Corpus Linguistics (BERBER SARDINHA, 2004), and Phraseology (PAVEL, 2003). The program WordSmith Tools version 6.0 is used. The results show that there is no standardization in these translations.

Poesia em tradução: a resistência tradutória nos jogos do invisível e do inesperado

This essay addresses translation as a form of resistance, whose invisible, unexpected effects underlie my rendering into Portuguese of two poems by the AfricanAmerican contemporary poet Harryette Mullen, with interesting developments that enable to envisage the complex intricacies that characterize different black aesthetics.

O texto adaptado à máquina: estratégias de controle autoral para implementação da tradução automática

Machine translation systems have been increasingly used for translation of large volumes of specialized texts. The efficiency of these systems depends directly on the implementation of strategies for controlling lexical use of source texts as a way to guarantee machine performance and, ultimately, human revision and post-edition work. This paper presents a brief history of application of machine translation, introduces the concept of lexicon and ambiguity and focuses on some of the lexical control strategies presently used, discussing their possible implications for the production and reading of specialized texts.
