The performance of the Translator and Interpreter of Libras/Portuguese (TILSP, in Portuguese), in this context, demands articulations of theoretic-practical nature in order that the speech in Libras can be comprehended by interlocutors that are not familiar with the language. Due to generic formation and to the lack of practice, some interpreters present difficulties and insecurities in mobilizing speeches in communicative interactions. Therefore, the goal of this research is to analyze the authorship and construction of meaning in the speech-visual, through expressive intonation present in SI of Libras/Portuguese on the academic circle: conference genre. The intonation, prosodic element, is present on the Production and perception of each word or statement, in the oral speech or sign language. For this reason, our research questions are: (i) how the non-hand markers, in the Libras speech, can influence the prosody on Portuguese, specifically intonation; (ii) how the interpreter constructs meaning in SI through intonation; (iii) how is constituted the authorship in the intonation-discursive mobilization between Libras and Portuguese from the speech-visual perspective. By theory grounded in a dialogic perspective set in the Bakhtin Circle, the speech-visuality studies of Beth Brait, here understood as several materialization in the shape of texts in a visual and speech dimension constitutive in the production and construction of meaning, and the Interactional Intonation Theory (IIT) of David Brazil. From these, we made a methodological slide from the statements of verbal signs in sign language and from the materialization of speech-visual intonational signs through the complex enunciative-discursive mobilization fulfilled on the interpretation from Libras to Portuguese in conferences. We chose as corpus two SI of Libras to the oral modality (Portuguese) performed by TILSP at the II Event-Libras: matches and mismatches – at the Federal University of São Paulo (Unifesp, in Portuguese), campus Guarulhos. The analyses show that the interpreters on the SI activity, in a dialogical agitated environment, filled with the social vocal tensions, crossed through political speeches, controversial and ironic tones, perform or present some difficulties at the construction of meaning through the active comprehension and by the speech, visual and axiological position, materialized in the prosodic choices, constituting authorship in the interpretation. It is hoped that this research helps with the investigations of prosody and meaning construction between the modalities Libras/Portuguese, with the proposition of contributing with the formation of Libras interpreters and the work activities of these professionals / A modalidade de interpretação simultânea (IS) de Libras para a Língua Portuguesa tem ganhado espaços em várias atividades na esfera educacional. A atuação do Tradutor e Intérprete de Língua de Sinais /Língua Portuguesa (TILSP), nesse contexto, demanda articulações de cunho teórico-prático para que o discurso em Libras possa ser compreendido por interlocutores que desconhecem essa língua. Devido à formação genérica e à falta de prática, alguns intérpretes apresentam dificuldades e insegurança em mobilizar discursos em interações comunicativas. Por essa razão, o objetivo desta pesquisa é analisar a autoria e construção de sentidos na perspectiva verbo-visual, por meio da entoação expressiva presente na IS de Libras/Língua Portuguesa na esfera acadêmico-científica: gênero conferência. A entoação, elemento prosódico, está presente na produção e percepção de cada palavra ou do enunciado, na fala oral ou na língua de sinais. Por esse motivo nossas perguntas de pesquisa são: (i) como os marcadores não-manuais no discurso em Libras podem influenciar a prosódia na Língua Portuguesa, em específico a entoação; (ii) como o intérprete constrói os sentidos na IS por meio da entoação na Língua Portuguesa; (iii) como se constitui a autoria na mobilização enunciativo-discursiva entre a Libras e Língua Portuguesa na perspectiva verbo-visual. Por meio da fundamentação teórica em uma perspectiva dialógica fundamentada no Círculo de Bakhtin, dos estudos da verbo-visualidade de Beth Brait, aqui entendida como as diversas materializações em forma texto em uma dimensão verbal e visual constitutivos na produção e construções de sentidos, e da Teoria Interacional da Entoação (TEI) de David Brazil, realizamos um deslocamento metodológico dos enunciados a partir dos signos verbais em língua de sinais e da materialização dos signos verbo-visuais entoacionais por meio da complexa mobilização enunciativo-discursiva realizada na interpretação da Libras para a Língua Portuguesa em conferências. Escolhemos como corpus duas interpretações simultâneas de Libras para a modalidade oral (Língua Portuguesa) realizadas pelos TILSP no II Evento-Libras: Encontros e Desencontros – realizado na Universidade Federal de São Paulo (Unifesp), campus Guarulhos. As análises mostram que as intérpretes na atividade interpretativa simultânea, em um ambiente dialogicamente agitado, repleto de tensões das vozes sociais, atravessadas por discursos políticos, polêmicos e com tons irônicos, realizam ou apresentam algumas dificuldades na construção de sentidos por meio da compreensão ativa responsiva e pela posição verbo-visual-axiológica, materializadas nas escolhas prosódicas, constituindo a autoria na interpretação. Espera-se que esta pesquisa colabore com as investigações da prosódia e construção de sentidos entre as modalidades Libras/Língua Portuguesa, com o propósito de contribuir com a formação do intérprete de Libras e as atividades de trabalho desses profissionais

Thesis (MPhil (General Linguistics))--University of Stellenbosch, 2010. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: During interpreting in the National Parliament of South Africa, the South African Sign Language (SASL) signs used for terms frequently occurring in political debates appear to differ from one interpreter to the next. The question arises as to whether this could be a possible source of miscommunication, and, if so, whether there is a need for SASL to be standardised in order to promote successful communication and/or avoid misunderstandings while interpreting the proceedings of Parliament for a Deaf Member of Parliament as well as for Deaf members of the public. The present research set out to answer these questions. In order to do so, video-recordings were made of two parliamentary SASL interpreters each independently signing 10 English terms often used during Parliamentary sittings. These recordings were shown to three Deaf adults, from more or less the same linguistic background, who were tasked with writing down the meaning of each sign of each interpreter. Responses given by the informants were allocated marks and a total score was calculated to reveal the level of intelligibility of the signs of each interpreter. It was found that not one of the deaf adults could understand all 10 signs of any one interpreter, and that the signs used by the two interpreters for eight of the 10 English terms differed vastly. The answers indicate the possibility of miscommunication, which could be avoided if standardised terms were available for use in the Parliamentary environment. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Tydens tolking in die Nasionale Parlement van Suid Afrika blyk tekens in Suid Afrikaanse Gebaretaal vir terme wat gereeld in politiese debatte voorkom, te verskil van tolk tot tolk. Die vraag is of dit ‘n bron van moontlike wankommunikasie kan wees en, indien wel, of daar dan ‘n behoefte daaraan is om Suid-Afrikaanse Gebaretaal te standardiseer met die doel om suksesvolle kommunikasie te bevorder en/of om misverstande te vermy terwyl die verrigtinge van die Parlement getolk word vir die dowe Lid van die Parlement asook die dowe lede van die publiek. Die huidige navorsing is gedoen om ‘n antwoord op hierdie vrae te verkry. Vir hierdie doeleindes is video-opnames van twee parlementêre gebaretaaltolke gemaak. Elke tolk het onafhanklik van die ander een 10 Engelse terme getolk wat gereeld voorkom gedurende parlementêre sittings. Hierdie opnames is dan aan drie volwasse Dowes gewys, wat afkomstig was van ongeveer dieselfde taalagtergrond, wat die betekenis van elke tolk se gebare neergeskryf het. Tellings is aan die response van elke informant toegeken en die totale telling is uitgewerk om die vlak van verstaanbaarheid van die gebare van elke tolk uit te werk. Daar is bevind dat nie een van die Dowe volwassenes al 10 terme korrek kon verstaan nie en dat ag van die 10 Engelse terme grotendeels verskillend getolk is deur die tolke. Die antwoorde dui daarop dat daar ‘n moontlikheid van wankommunikasie bestaan, wat vermy kan word as gebaretaalterme gestandardiseer kan word in die parlementêre omgewing.

A partir da tradução e da etnonarrativa implicada, compreendi as mediações linguísticas em cinco diferentes cenas de interação comunicativa em sala de aula. Adotei a etnopesquisa como fundamento teórico-metodológico de pesquisa qualitativa em educação, a etnonarrativa implicada com densos componentes autobiográficos e procedimentos da sociolinguística interacional para a interpretação dos diálogos entre os atores sociais do cenário socioeducativo. Em termos da compreensão dos turnos de fala, parti de cinco etno-observações filmadas num programa de estimulação precoce que adotava o uso da língua brasileira de sinais (Libras). Utilizei também um diário de campo para anotar informações relevantes sobre as aulas filmadas e o cotidiano institucional. Vale ressaltar que a heurística da pesquisa se revela dentro da perspectiva de uma etnonarrativa implicada na sua totalidade e em seu movimento. No que concerne ao processo de compreensão das mediações linguísticas entre professoras e alunos surdos, participaram duas professoras surdas, três professoras ouvintes e treze alunos surdos. Os alunos estavam na faixa etária dos cinco aos sete anos de idade. Descrevi as falas dos participantes em turnos que contém a anotação dos elementos constitutivos (sinais da Libras, gestos, movimentos corporais, expressões faciais, etc.) e a respectiva tradução para a língua portuguesa. Intepretei diálogos selecionados em cenas que contêm fenômenos próprios da comunicação entre professoras e alunos surdos. A partir da compreensão das mediações linguísticas entre os participantes, discuti questões próprias da Educação de Surdos, como a formação de professores surdos e de TILS educacionais linguisticamente responsáveis para a atuação neste contexto. Discuti também o problema da exclusão linguística e a luta pela Escola Bilíngue da comunidade surda brasileira, evidenciando a relevância linguística, cultural e identitária, bem como a pertinência socioeducativa destas instituições. / Salvador

Signed language interpreting in South Africa has not received much academic attention, despite the profession having undergone major transformation since the advent of democracy. This study aims to create a better understanding of signed language interpreters’ behaviour in one specific setting in South Africa – post-secondary education. During the researcher’s own practice as an educational interpreter at a post-secondary institution, she experienced role conflict and found little information available to assist her in making professional decisions on which direction to take. This provided the impetus to embark on this research. The study begins by outlining the field of liaison interpreting and educational interpreting, and examining the existing literature regarding the interpreter’s role and norms in interpreting. It then goes on to examine authentic interpreted texts, filmed in actual lectures in post-secondary settings. These texts are analysed with reference to interpreter shifts and deviations from the source text, with particular focus on interpreter-generated utterances (additions), borrowing (fingerspelling), omissions (both errors and conscious choice) and various types of collaboration between the interpreter and primary participants. These shifts are examined in more detail to explore whether they indicate any change in the interpreter’s role. Further, interpreters’ own views about their practice, elicited from individual interviews, enable the reader to understand how the interpreters view the role(s) that they fulfil. The research will provide information for interpreter trainers about the roles assumed by SASL interpreters in higher education and provide a platform from which to scaffold future educational interpreter research and training. / Linguistics / M.A. (Linguistics)
