This thesis is comprised of an annotated translation of an English IT-text into Swedish. The source text is the installation manual for the software SDL Trados Studio 2014 and the thesis also contains a text analysis of the source text. The goal of the translation has been to use norms in the target culture and thus move the translation toward acceptability. The thesis therefore discusses norms based on Toury's (1995) framework. The thesis also contains an empirical study of the translation of three different IT-texts. The study shows that, when it comes to the specific norms investigated in the study, Swedish translations of IT-texts are guided by norms in both the source culture and the target culture. / Uppsatsen innehåller en teoretiserande översättningskommentar till en översättning av en IT-text. Källtexten är installationsmanualen till programvaran SDL Trados Studio 2014 och uppsatsen innehåller även en textanalys av denna. Målet har varit att genomföra en acceptansinriktad översättning och översättningsarbetet utgår från de normbegrepp som diskuteras av Toury (1995). Dessutom innehåller uppsatsen en empirisk studie av normbruk i översättningar av tre IT-texter som liknar den egna översättningens källtext. I studien framgår att svenska översättningar av IT-texter följer både källkulturens och målkulturens normer när det gäller de specifika normer som undersökts.

With advances in information and communication technologies over the past few years, the amount of information stored in the form of electronic text documents has been rapidly growing. Since the human abilities to effectively process and analyze large amounts of information are limited, there is an increasing demand for tools enabling to automatically analyze these documents and benefit from their emotional content. These kinds of systems have extensive applications. The purpose of this work is to design and implement a system for identifying expression of emotions in Czech texts. The proposed system is based mainly on machine learning methods and therefore design and creation of a training set is described as well. The training set is eventually utilized to create a model of classifier using the SVM. For the purpose of improving classification results, additional components were integrated into the system, such as lexical database, lemmatizer or derived keyword dictionary. The thesis also presents results of text documents classification into defined emotion classes and evaluates various approaches to categorization.

Clarinet works by Taiwanese female composers are not well researched or catalogued, and to date, and no comprehensive research codifies this subcategory in Taiwan or elsewhere. A comprehensive research and bibliography is necessary to the international community. It is hoped that through this annotated bibliography, readers will gain a deeper understanding of this genre. This study contains a brief history of Taiwan's Western music history, the female composers' history in Taiwan, and literature review. A total of twenty compositions by eighteen different Taiwanese female composers are discussed in the annotated bibliography, including thirteen for unaccompanied clarinet and seven for clarinet and piano. Information includes a brief biography of the composer, the date of composition, duration, premiere, dedication, commission, location of the score, difficulty and commentary on the piece.

[pt] Outros nomes para uma rosa: Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald em tradução toma como objeto de pesquisa a obra literária de Zelda Fitzgerald, colocando em posição de destaque Scandalabra – a única peça teatral completa que sobrevive da autora. Tradicionalmente considerada uma curiosidade literária escrita logo após a tépida recepção crítica e o relativo fracasso comercial de Save Me the Waltz, ou então como uma fonte de conflitos dentro de um período conturbado do casamento dos Fitzgerald, Scandalabra permanece um texto que foi pouco estudado e analisado pela crítica. Uma leitura mais atenta desse texto e sobretudo de suas rubricas e indicações cênicas, no entanto, revela que ali se esconde um exercício fascinante e mesmo inovador da escrita dramática. Além disso, uma leitura mais contextualizada da peça também pode acenar para um esforço concreto da própria autora em aperfeiçoar sua escrita, uma vez que é possível verificar o desenvolvimento de temas e recursos técnicos e estilísticos que vinham sendo exercitados desde os primeiros contos escritos no início da década de 1920. Esta tese, portanto, parte das muitas identidades públicas e autorais construídas por e para Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald para investigar a obra literária dessa mulher tão famosa, tão presente no imaginário popular e, ainda assim, tão estigmatizada e pouco estudada. Ao propor um recorte que considere como objeto de pesquisa os doze contos, o romance Save Me the Waltz e Scandalabra, este estudo almeja uma análise integrada desse conjunto de escritos já publicados em inglês e traduzidos apenas parcialmente em português – uma análise que não é exaustiva e tampouco total, mas que é inédita na medida em que compõe o primeiro estudo da obra de Zelda Fitzgerald ancorado nos Estudos da Tradução. A tese apresenta também uma tradução comentada de Scandalabra, texto até então inédito em português. / [en] Other Names for a Rose: Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald in Translation foregrounds Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald s literary works, putting Scandalabra —the only complete and surviving play the author wrote— at the center of its analysis. Traditionally dismissed either as a minor literary curiosity that followed the lukewarm critical and commercial reception of Fitzgerald s only published novel, Save Me the Waltz, or as a source of domestic conflict during a turbulent, contentious time in the Fitzgeralds marriage, Scandalabra has not yet been subjected to proper study or commentary. A closer reading of it, however, reveals that this forgotten piece offers a fascinating, and even innovative, exercise in dramatic language, especially in its use of stage directions. Moreover, contextualized reading of the play can also point to a conscious effort in Zelda Fitzgerald s development as a writer, as it provides an assessment of the author s development in her craft. This study first discusses the many public identities built by and for Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald and then investigates Fitzgerald s literary works, focusing specifically on her twelve short stories, Save Me the Waltz and Scandalabra, to propose an integrated analysis of this set of writings, published integrally in English and only partially translated into Portuguese. Although neither exhaustive nor total, this study is unprecedented insofar as it composes the first study of Zelda Fitzgerald s work that is anchored on the field of Translation Studies. This thesis also presents an annotated translation of Scandalabra, which had never been translated into Portuguese.

[pt] A dissertação consiste em uma tradução comentada de Mean Free Path (2010), último livro de poesia de Ben Lerner, poeta e romancista estadunidense contemporâneo. Lerner desenvolve uma poética marcada por colisões e fragmentações, com choques de sentido de um verso para outro, versos fora de ordem, recombinados etc. Tais características dispararam reflexões sobre as escolhas tradutórias, comentadas em notas (relativas aos versos), às quais são entrelaçados conceitos teóricos caros aos estudos de tradução poética, que atribuem ao tradutor um papel ativo. A linguagem do autor se articula com a forma como se dá a comunicação nos dias de hoje. / [en] The thesis consists of an annotated translation of Mean Free Path (2010), the latest poetry book written by the contemporary American poet and novelist Ben Lerner. He creates a poetic language marked by collisions and fragmentations, with disruptions to the meanings from one line to another, lines out of order or recombined etc. These features triggered reflections on the translation choices, which are discussed in notes on specific lines. Theoretical concepts relevant to the study of poetry translation, which give translators an active role, are intertwined with the notes. The author s poetic language is attuned to the way people communicate nowadays.

近年來英語教學特別重視聽力對於英語學習的重要性，然而臺灣的英語教育仍以播放CD為最廣泛使用的英語聽力練習方法，無法因應個別學習者聽力上的個別差異需求，進行重聽段落的自我調整。隨著科技的進步，電腦輔助語言學習已成為發展趨勢，本研究發展一影片標註聽力複習機制（Video-Annotated Listening Review Mechanism, VALRM），可輔助學習者依據自己的學習需求，進行英語聽力重聽段落的標註與重聽。為了驗證此一機制對於提升英語聽力的成效，本研究比較使用VALRM以及利用Youtube進行自主聽力複習機制（Self-Determined Learning Review Mechanism, SDLRM）的學習者，在英語聽力理解成效、學習滿意度、科技接受度，以及認知負荷是否具有顯著差異。此外，也進一步比較不同英語起始能力學習者，以及不同學習風格學習者（場地獨立型與場地依賴型），分別採用VALRM及SDLRM在英語聽力理解成效、學習滿意度、科技接受度，以及認知負荷上是否具有顯著的差異。 研究結果發現，使用VALRM的學習者，其聽力理解成效顯著優於使用SDLRM的學習者。此外，使用VALRM的學習者，其學習滿意度與科技接受度高於使用SDLRM的學習者；認知負荷度則低於使用SDLRM的學習者。最後，採用VALRM及SDLRM之不同英語起始能力學習者，以及不同學習風格學習者的英語聽力理解成效、學習滿意度、科技接受度，以及認知負荷度不具有顯著差異。研究結果顯示，學習者使用VALRM輔以英語聽力學習，能有效提昇學習者的英語聽力理解表現。

Le travail a consisté à réaliser l’édition commentée de l’Itinerario de Vartema (Rome,1510), compte-rendu écrit par Vartema à l’issue de son voyage, qui le mena de Venise aux Indes en passant par l’Arabie (1503-08). Bien que ce texte ait donné lieu à plusieurs éditions dans plusieurs langues européennes, il n’a en effet jamais fait l’objet d‘une édition critique. Le voyage eut lieu au moment où les grandes découvertes bouleversèrent l’image du monde: il s’agissait du premier voyage par voie de terre effectué par un occidental au moment où les Portugais créèrent la route commerciale maritime des épices. Vartema est un homme fascinant qui a endossé avec aisance des rôles très éloignés de la mentalité occidentale, nous laissant un document unique dans sa manière de reformuler son expérience. L’objet de la recherche se situe au carrefour de plusieurs disciplines: l’histoire littéraire, la philologie, la littérature de voyage, l’histoire de la géographie, du livre et des sciences. / The aim of this research is the preparation of an annotated critical edition of the de Ludovico de Vartema bolognese of Bologna (1st ed. Rome, 1510). This is a record written by Vartema on his way back from a journey which took him from Venice to the East Indies and through Arabia between 1503 and 1508. It gives an account of the first journey made by a western man after the Portuguese created their commercial empire. Although in the sixteenth century several editions of this work in many languages were issued, it has never before been the subject of a critical edition. Vartema’s Itinerario is the account of a charming man who was able to get inside the minds of people distant from the western mentality. He has left us a unique document since the way his experiences have been told is poised among many disciplines including: political philology, language history, text analysis, history and geography, science book history, travel literature. / Copo del presente lavoro di ricerca è stata la realizzazione dell’edizione critica commentata dell’Itinerario de Ludovico de Vartema bolognese (Roma,1510). Si tratta del resoconto scritto da Vartema al ritorno dal suo viaggio, che lo portò da Venezia alle Indie orientali, passando per l’Arabia, tra il 1503 e il 1508. Si tratta del primo viaggio effettuato da un occidentale nel momento in cui i Portoghesi crearono il loro impero commerciale. Sebbene nel sedicesimo secolo questo testo abbia visto numerose edizioni in molte lingue, non è mai stato oggetto di un’edizione critica. Lo studio dell’Itinerario di Vartema - uomo affascinante che si cala facilmente in ruoli molto lontano dalla mentalità occidentale e che ci lascia un documento unico per il modo in cui l’esperienza vi è raccontata - si situa al centro degli sguardi incrociati di molte discipline: filologia politica, storia della lingua, analisi del testo, storia e geografia, storia del libro delle scienze, letteratura di viaggio.
