When studying the novel Les Années by the novelist Annie Ernaux we have chosen to have acloser look upon the translation of the novel to Swedish following the strategies of translationelaborated by Brynja Svane. These strategies are based on the study of cultural expressions. Ascultural expressions we have chosen those expressions which are typical for the world situationand for the daily life during this period of time, that is 70 between 1940 and 2008. We want tofind out whether these strategies can help the translator to convey the message of the novel. Thethree most often used strategies are addition, transfer with explanation and semantic adaption.Sometimes the translation needs to add words to dramatize the text in a way that is easily donein a few words in the source language. Finally, we find that using a lot of words sometimesmake the translated text a bit heavy and clumsy, which might hide and weaken the message ofthe novel

C. Medeiros Mendes and Oscar (1969); Beatriz Viégas-Faria (2001); Heliodora Barbara (2004) and Erick Ramalho (2006). Our intention here is also verifying in these translations, comparing to the source text, speeches that report the development of the women‟s profile in Shakespearean work in analysis. From the assumption that each translator has his own characteristics and style, we have checked in this study the translation strategies which had been chosen and used by each author in their translation process. We know that each translation was produced in different social and historical contexts, however, for a greater comprehension of its specificities, this study had as a theoretical basis, the methodological model of Lambert and van Gorp (1985), thereby, justifying with greater accuracy and efficiency the choices of each author‟s translation procedures. This analysis had been developed in three stages: (i) identifying fragments that address the woman‟s profile in Shakespeare work, (ii) checking fragments (in the target texts) of each possible statement or word, previously highlighted, about woman‟s profile, (iii) analyze the translation procedures observed before, and the general effects they may cause in different translations, in order to analyze how the translations may maintain, attenuate, intensify or omit, among other things, discursive aspects about the construction of the female profile once verified on the source text. Therefore, this study followed the scheme of strategies developed by MárciaParedesNunes (2007), it consists of translation strategies relevant for this research. Our theoretical referential is based on the Descriptive Translation Studies, about theories and approaches from authors such as Even-Zohar (1990), Toury (1980, 1995, 1998), Lefevere (1990) and Venuti (2002). We have noticed that all translators have tried to be as faithful as possible and keep in their translations the original proposal, always looking for equivalent terms between the source text and the target text, and worrying about the lexicon, the semantic and with the linguistic varieties present in the Shakespearean text, they also (re)create the play‟s scenic aspects. Whereas, the translation studies are still recent in Brazil, this research does not stop here. New studies will come contributing to the increase and diffusion of this new field of scientific and academic research. / Esta pesquisa versa sobre procedimentos tradutórios em Sonho de Uma Noite de Verão de William Shakespeare em cinco traduções publicadas no Brasil, por Carlos Alberto Nunes (1955); F. C. Medeiros e Oscar Mendes (1969); Beatriz Viégas-Faria (2001); Barbara Heliodora (2004) e Erick Ramalho (2006). Pretende-se aqui, também, verificar nessas traduções, comparando-se ao texto original as implicações de discursos que marcam a construção do perfil da mulher na obra shakespeariana em análise. Partindo do pressuposto de que cada tradutor possui suas particularidades e estilo próprio, ocupamo-nos das estratégias de tradução escolhidas por cada um deles. Como cada trabalho se deu em contexto históricosocial distinto, adotamos, para melhor compreensão das especificidades, como base teórica neste estudo, o modelo metodológico de Lambert e van Gorp (1985) para, desse modo, acessarmos, com maior rigor e eficácia, a escolha dos procedimentos tradutórios de cada autor. Este estudo apresenta-se em três etapas: (i) identificação de fragmentos que retratam o perfil da mulher na obra de Shakespeare; (ii) localização das traduções (nos textos-alvo), de cada possível afirmação ou palavra sobre a mulher, previamente destacadas nos fragmentos e, (iii) análise dos procedimentos tradutórios observados e os efeitos gerais que estes provocam nas diferentes traduções, a fim de verificar em que medida as versões mantêm, atenuam, intensificam ou omitem os aspectos discursivos relacionados à construção do perfil feminino antes percebido no original. Para tanto, nos apoiamos no esquema de estratégias elaborado por Márcia Paredes Nunes (2007), constituído por estratégias tradutórias relevantes para esta pesquisa. Nosso referencial teórico funda-se nos Estudos Descritivos da Tradução, com base nas teorias e abordagens de autores como Even-Zohar (1990), Toury (1980, 1995, 1998), Lefevere (1990) e Venuti (2002). Observamos que ambos os tradutores buscaram da maneira mais precisa possível serem fiéis e conservar em suas traduções a proposta do original, buscando sempre termos equivalentes entre o texto-fonte e o texto-meta, preocupando-se com o léxico, com o semântico e com as variedades linguísticas presentes no texto shakespeariano, além de (re)criarem os aspectos cênicos da peça.Considerando que os estudos da tradução ainda são recentes, no Brasil, esta pesquisa não para por aqui. Novos estudos virão no intuito de contribuir com a ampliação e difusão deste novo campo de investigação cientifica-acadêmico.

The subject of this thesis is proper names in Czech and Spanish language and proper names in translation from Spanish into Czech. The theoretical part of the thesis comprises of an overview of the current state of investigation in the field both in Czech and in Spanish. In Czech linguistics, onomastics is a comparatively developed discipline. In Spanish, it is mostly grammatical manuals that deal with proper names. In both languages, authors tend to agree on the definition and classification of proper names into anthroponyms, toponyms and chrematonyms; however, Spanish authors usually do not separate chrematonyms as a category under such name. Furthermore, nobody has yet defined or classified the functions of proper names in Spanish language (an action which has already been done for the Czech language). Opinions on the translation of proper names differ to a large degree. Authors recognize proper names as polyfunctional units and agree that their translation (or non-translation) is in large measure conditioned by norms and specific historically conditioned conventions; by the function of the text, text type and genre; by the relationship of the working languages and so on. Authors also suggest their own set of strategies which can be used in the transfer of proper names from one language into...

(in English): The diploma thesis focuses on translating children's literature: literary works of K. I. Chukovsky in selected Czech translations and its specifics. Amongst these specifics we can mention the dual address, censoring during Soviet Union, adaptations, the questions of illustrations in translating children's literature and utmost importance of phonetic and rhythmic structures in Chukovsky's literary works. Last two specifics must be in harmony with text itself due to the reader's age category (preschool and school-age children). Specifics of children's literature as well as theory and strategies in translating children's literature are applied on selected Czech translations. The translation analysis will be carried out on following works: Телефон and Муха-Цокотуха. The analytic part of given diploma thesis focuses to what extent the translators took into consideration stated specifics. Both analyzed works has been selected thanks to their most characteristic elements on which we can demonstrate the author's style and then compare them with translations. The analytic part is by this mean focused on demonstration and expression of individual translation problems and their solutions. The results of given analysis are then presented in the conclusion and they are put into correlation with...
