Title in Portuguese
As vozes de Chico Buarque em inglês: tradução e linguística de corpus
Keywords in Portuguese
Tradução. Linguística de Corpus. Tradução Literária. Criatividade lexical. Chico Buarque.
Abstract in Portuguese
O notável talento de Chico Buarque em lidar com as palavras, assim como sua participação nas traduções de suas obras literárias para o inglês, são o fio condutor desta pesquisa de doutorado, em que se investigaram as traduções de Estorvo, Benjamim e Budapeste. A Linguística de Corpus foi utilizada como base metodológica para investigação do corpus de estudo, composto pelas referidas obras originais e traduzidas. Utilizando-se o programa computacional WordSmith Tools, de Mike Scott, foi extraída do corpus de estudo, uma lista de palavras-chave que serviu como ponto de partida para uma análise qualitativa das traduções, focando o aspecto da recuperação da criatividade lexical do autor pelos tradutores. Os resultados desta análise levaram a crer que houve, por parte dos tradutores, Peter Bush, Clifford Landers e Alison Entrekin, um empenho significativo para recriar as supostas intenções semânticas e estilísticas do escritor. Tal conclusão foi corroborada por entrevistas que este pesquisador conduziu com o autor, com os três tradutores e com a editora Liz Calder. A Linguística de Corpus, por sua vez, mostrou-se eficaz não só como metodologia para exploração de um corpus literário, mas também como uma abordagem, na medida em que revelou aspectos das traduções que não se havia cogitado investigar.

Chico Buarque's voices in English: translation and corpus linguistics
Keywords in English
Translation. Corpus Linguistics. Literary Translation. Lexical creativity. Chico Buarque. Translator
Abstract in English
Chico Buarques notable talent in dealing with words as well as his participation in the translations of his books into English are the core of this doctoral dissertation, which investigated the translations of Estorvo (Turbulence), Benjamim (Benjamin) and Budapeste (Budapest) into English. Corpus Linguistics was used as a methodological basis for investigating the study corpus, constituted by both original and translated works. With the computer program WordSmith Tools, developed by Mike Scott, a list of keywords was extracted from the corpus, which served as a starting point for a qualitative analysis of the translations. The focus was to investigate if the authors creativity was recovered by his translators. The results led to believe that the translators, Peter Bush, Clifford Landers and Alison Entrekin, made a significant effort to recreate Chico Buarques semantic and stylistic endeavors. This conclusion was corroborated by the oral interviews conducted by this researcher with the author, the three translators and the publisher Liz Calder. Corpus Linguistics, in turn, was effective not only as a methodology to explore a literary corpus, but also as an approach to the extent that it revealed aspects of the translations that were not previously considered worthy of invetigation.
