Este trabalho objetiva, com base nos postulados teórico-metodológicos da Terminologia teórica e aplicada, da Socioterminologia e da Tradutologia, apresentar uma proposta para popularização do conhecimento científico, e tem como resultado uma amostra de catálogo de espécies arbóreas, em linguagem popular. Para tanto, delimitamos o corpus deste estudo e analisamos a passagem do científico ao popular, considerando o continuum entre parâmetros (do científico ao popular) e o continuum tipológico (gênero textual), que nos serviram de base para estabelecer o parâmetro das distâncias entre os níveis. Utilizamos a tradução intralingual como mediadora do conhecimento científico, para re-explicar os conceitos difíceis e diminuir a complexidade do texto de especialidade. Descrevemos a trajetória do processo de diminuição da densidade terminológica do texto para a elaboração das definições que compõem a amostra do catálogo. Em conclusão, constatamos que é possível, em Terminologia, permanecermos dentro de um mesmo universo de discurso e gênero textual, mudando, apenas, o nível de registro, de acordo com objetivos e públicos específicos. Observamos, também, que a Tradução utiliza-se da Terminologia, assim como a Terminologia utiliza-se do processo de tradução para a elaboração das definições de conceitos e termos, sendo a tradução intralingual, assim como a tradução interlingual e intersemiótica, uma etapa imprescindível na construção do saber. / This work examines the basis of theoretical and methodological postulates of theoretical and applied Terminology, of Socioterminology and of Traductology, to present a proposal for popularization of the scientific knowledge, which results in a catalog sample of tree species, in a popular language. Thus, restricting the corpus of this study and analyzing the transition from scientific to popular language, considering the continuum between parameters (from scientific to popular) and the typological continuum (textual gender), which helped to form the basis for the parameter of the distances between those language levels. The intralingual translation has been used as a mediator of knowledge to reexplain the difficult concepts and reduce the complexity of the specialized text. A description is given of the trajectory of decreasing process of terminological density of the text to write the definitions which compose our catalog sample. In conclusion, it has been verified that it is possible, in Terminology, to remain within the same universe of discourse and textual gender, changing, just, the level of register in accordance with specific objectives and audiences. It is also observed that the Translation uses the Terminology as well the Terminology uses the translation process to write the definitions of concepts and terms, being intralingual translation as well as interlingual and intersemiotic translations, an essential step in the building of knowledge.

Le Zhuang zi, ouvrage qui porte le nom de Zhuang zi, l’un des plus grands philosophes chinois vivant au IVe siècle av. J.-C. environ, a été universellement reconnu pour son imagination exubérante et sans limites, pour son style d’écriture plein d’humour, de même pour son usage efficace du « sanyan » (三言, les trois paroles) dans la construction des textes narratifs. Plus important encore, il présente une conception unique du cosmos et des dix mille êtres, ainsi qu’une observation perspicace du monde humain. Cet ouvrage a attiré, dès l’origine, bon nombre d’annotations et d’interprétations de la part des lettrés aux différentes époques en Chine. Incontestablement, les efforts scientifiques antérieurs ont permis au Zhuang zi de subsister durant une vaste étendue temporelle. C’est grâce à eux en effet qu’une base de données riche et précieuse a été mise en place pour sa réinterprétation et sa retraduction dans le contexte actuel de mondialisation. Néanmoins, le Zhuang zi per se étant un classique porteur de sens multiples est, par conséquent, susceptible d’interprétations diverses. En raison des approches variées adoptées par différents annotateurs, des malentendus, voire des interprétations erronées ont eu lieu dans leurs travaux d’érudition, ce qui fait peu ou prou obstacle à la diffusion intraculturelle et interculturelle du classique.La présente étude commence par un examen des principales découvertes sur le Zhuang zi, allant de la période pré-Qin jusqu’à l’époque contemporaine. Cette tentative de découvrir les traits saillants de ses interprétations dans différents contextes historiques de la Chine a pour but d’inspirer la retraduction intralinguale et interlinguale du classique. Ensuite, une discussion autour de la vision sur le rapport entre le langage et le sens du Zhuang zi, ainsi qu’autour de l’exemple des trois commentaires est déployée, suivie de l’observation de ses versions anglaises et françaises, y compris leurs réalités communicatives dans l’univers de la langue cible, d’où il résulte que les traductions intralinguale et interlinguale remplissent chacune des fonctions différentes dans la communication transtemporelle et trans-spatiale du Zhuang zi. Pour faire avancer la discussion, cette étude met l’accent sur l’aspect étymologique et sur le processus évolutif des trois notions philosophiques essentielles qui ont toutes, en faisant souvent l’objet de l’interrogation dans le milieu sinologique, une occurrence très élevée dans l’ouvrage, à savoir « dao » (道, le dao), « tian » (天, le ciel) et « de » (德, l’efficience). Cette partie expose principalement leurs usages dans les classiques confucianistes, dans le Lao zi et dans le Zhuang zi, avec l’analyse des gains et des pertes de leurs traductions, afin de mettre en lumière un cadre de référence pour une compréhension et une interprétation plus approfondie des notions philosophiques du Zhuang zi. Enfin, cette étude se réfère étroitement aux paragraphes et à leurs versions françaises/anglaise pour une interprétation multilingue des vues de Zhuang zi sur les questions telles que « la vie et la mort », « l’utile et l’inutile » et « le beau et le laid », dans l’intention d’illustrer une approche traductionnelle aux thèses philosophiques du Maître. Il est affirmé que les notions philosophiques dans l’ouvrage dépendent fortement du contexte et que la recontextualisation est donc essentielle pour le processus d’interprétation et de traduction. Il est également affirmé que les thèses philosophiques du Zhuang zi constituées à partir de perspectives variées mais complémentaires appellent ainsi l’utilisation du paratexte et de la traduction étoffée pour reproduire la réalité du classique dans les situations de traduction. Cette étude affirme aussi la valeur de la traduction multimodale dans la communication efficace du Zhuang zi. / The Zhuang zi adopts its name after Zhuang zi, one of the greatest Chinese philosophers who lived in about the fourth century BC. The classic has been universally recognized for its boundless and exuberant imaginations and its humorous style of writing, particularly as evidenced by its effective use of the “sanyan” (三言, the three words) in the structuring of the narrative content. More importantly, it presents a unique conception of the cosmos, the ten thousand things and an insightful observation of the human world. Since it was known to the public, it has been followed by a variety of annotations and interpretations from different scholars in the Chinese history. Unquestionably, previous academic efforts have made the Zhuang zi survive a vast space of time and accumulated a richness of valuable data for its reinterpreting and retranslation in the present-day context of globalization. Nevertheless, the Zhuang zi per se is a classic of great meaning potential; therefore, it is open to diverse interpretations. Since different annotators and interpreters took different attitudes and approaches to the classic, misunderstandings and misinterpretations have taken place in their works of scholarship, more or less impeding the intracultural and intercultural dissemination of the classic.The present study commences with a review of the major findings on the Zhuang zi, ranging from the pre-Qin period to the contemporary era, as an attempt to discover the salient features of interpretation in different historical contexts of China so as to inspire the intralingual and interlingual retranslation of the classic. Then, it moves on to a discussion of the Zhuang zi’s standpoint on the relation between language and meaning, and the example of three commentaries, which is backed up by an observation of its English and French versions and their communicative facts in the target language world, with the resulting claim that intralingual translation and interlingual translation perform different functions in the trans-temporal and trans-spatial communication of the Zhuang zi. To push the discussion forward, this study turns its focus to the etymological aspect and evolutionary process of the three key philosophical notions in the classic, that is, “dao” (道, the dao) “tian” (天, heaven) and “de” (德, potency), all of which record a high frequency of use and highlight the relevant activity of inquiry in the community of Chinese Studies. This section mainly explores their patterns of use through reference to the pre-Qin Confucian works, the Lao zi and the Zhuang zi, and analyses both the merits and demerits of their different translated versions so as to illustrate a frame of reference for a deep understanding and interpretation of the Zhuang zi’s philosophical notions. Finally, this study closely refers to the classic’s relevant paragraphs and their English/French versions for a cross-linguistic interpretation of the Zhuang zi’s views on questions like “life and death”, “useful and useless” and “beauty and ugliness” to illustrate a translation-based approach to the master’s philosophical theories. It is claimed that Zhuang zi’s philosophical notions are highly context-dependent and therefore recontextualization is essential to the process of interpretation and translation. It is also claimed that the Zhuang zi’s philosophical theories are made from varied but complementary perspectives and therefore call for the use of paratexts and thick translation methods to reproduce the reality of the classic in translation situations. This study affirms the value of multimodal translation in the effective communication of the Zhuang zi as well.

Abstract The partitive (one of the fifteen Finnish cases and a typical case characterizing Finnic languages) developed from the Uralic separative locative into a grammatical case. In modern Finnish, it is one of the object, existential subject and predicative cases, representing that side of the case alternations that expresses unboundedness and negative polarity. Probably because the three case alternations differ in certain respects and clear-cut grammar rules cannot always be formulated, the use of the partitive remains a constant struggle for learners of Finnish. This study investigates the use of partitive objects, subjects and predicatives in Estonian, German and Dutch learners of Finnish as a foreign language. By comparing groups of learners from L1 backgrounds closely related and non-related to the target language (TL), it is aimed to explore the role of presence versus lack of relevant prior linguistic knowledge. The use of the partitive is namely largely similar in the closely related Estonian language. However, the purpose of the study is not only to gain valuable insights into the phenomena of L1 influence and intralingual influence but also to identify (common and L1 background-specific) stumbling blocks in the use of the partitive case, and to draw pedagogical implications based upon the findings. Research materials were selected from the Estonian, German and Dutch subcorpora of the International Corpus of Learner Finnish (ICLFI), aligned to the CEFR proficiency levels, and analyzed based on combined error-frequency analyses, involving partitive over- and underuse errors and partitive-requiring contexts (PRCs). As will be shown, the study reveals conspicuous differences between the learner corpora. In general, the Estonian learner corpus not only shows significantly fewer partitive errors than the other corpora, but also some specific error patterns attributable to subtle L1-L2 differences and, unlike the remaining corpora, a lack of overgeneralization of L2 grammar rules. The findings do not only indicate that -and how- prior linguistic knowledge matters, but also suggest that stumbling blocks could potentially be turned into stepping stones by emphasizing L1-L2 differences in the case of Estonian learners of Finnish, and by highlighting similarities and differences from within the TL in cases of learners from non-related L1 backgrounds. / Tiivistelmä Itämerensuomalaisille kielille tyypillinen partitiivi on aikaa myöten kehittynyt separatiivi-nimisestä uralilaisen kantakielen paikallissijasta syntaktisia funktioita ilmaisevaksi sijamuodoksi. Nykysuomessa partitiivi on yksi objektin, eksistentiaali-subjektin ja predikaativin sijoista, jolla ilmaistaan rajaamattomuutta ja kielteisyyttä. Partitiivin käyttö aiheuttaa suomen kielen oppijoille usein ongelmia, luultavasti koska objektin, subjektin ja predikatiivin sijanvalinnassa on vaihtelua ja ratkaisevien kieliopillisten sääntöjen muodostus on toisinaan erittäin vaikeaa. Tässä tutkimuksessa tarkastelen virolaisten, saksalaisten ja hollantilaisten suomea vieraana kielenä opiskelevien partitiiviobjektin, -subjektin ja -predikatiivin käyttöä lähde- ja kohdekielen samanlaisuuden ja erilaisuuden näkökulmasta. Lähde- ja kohdekielen roolin selvittämisen lisäksi tutkimuksen tavoitteina on identifioida partitiivin (yleiset ja lähdekielikohtaiset) ongelmakohdat ja yhdistää tutkimustulokset vieraan kielen oppimiseen ja -opetukseen. Tutkimusaineistoina on virolaisten, saksalaisten ja hollantilaisten opiskelijoiden kirjoittamia tekstejä, jotka on poimittu Kansainvälisestä oppijansuomen korpuksesta (ICLFI) ja arvioitu Eurooppalaisen viitekehyksen (CEFR) kielitaitotasojen mukaan. Virhe- ja frekvenssianalyyseissä aineistoista analysoidaan muun muassa partitiivin yli- ja alikäyttövirheet ja partitiivin vaatimat kontekstit. Tutkimuksesta käy ilmi, että virolaisten oppijoiden ja ei-sukukieliä puhuvien oppijoiden tuotoksissa on silmiinpistäviä eroja. Virolaisten aineistosta löytyy yleisesti tilastollisesti vähemmän partitiivivirheitä kuin kahdesta muusta osakorpuksesta ja lisäksi myös virhekategorioita ja -rakenteita, jotka johtunevat lähdekielen vaikutuksesta. Tämän lisäksi saksalaisten ja hollantilaisten tuotoksissa on selvästi enemmän kohdekielen sääntöjen yliyleistämistä kuin virolaisten osakorpuksessa. Tutkimustulokset siis osoittavat, että lähdekieli vaikuttaa kohdekielen oppimiseen, ja sen, miten se vaikuttaa. Lisäksi tutkimustulosten avulla on mahdollista kehittää sellaisia opetuksen apuvälineitä, joilla voidaan selventää virolaisille suomenoppijoille L1:n ja L2:n partitiivin käytön eroja ja yhtäläisyyksiä ja tehostaa oppimista; ei-sukukielisten oppijoiden opetuksessa ovat puolestaan kohdekielen ja sijanvaihteluiden sisäiset tunnusmerkit tärkeitä.

Primeiramente, definiremos o processo de adaptação de obras literárias. Para isso, buscaremos averiguar suas semelhanças e diferenças em relação a outros dois tipos de reescritura: a tradução e a apropriação, à luz das reflexões de Georges L. Bastin (1998), Georges L. Bastin e Hugo Vandal-Sirois (2012), Antoine Berman ([1985] 2007), André Lefevere (1992) e Julie Sanders (2006). Em seguida, falaremos sobre o início da tradição de adaptação de obras literárias, que se deu na Inglaterra nos primórdios do século XIX, e trataremos, também, do contexto brasileiro. Abordaremos a adaptação interlingual de obras para o público infanto-juvenil, que foi a primeira a surgir no Brasil, e a apontaremos como precursora do gênero de literatura infanto-juvenil no país. Daremos ênfase às atuações de Monteiro Lobato, especialmente durante a ditadura civil brasileira, e dos adaptadores que realizaram seu trabalho durante a ditadura militar – ilustraremos tal contexto com o caso de Paulo Mendes Campos. Nesse momento, nos apoiaremos, sobretudo, em percepções de Mário Feijó Borges Monteiro (2002, 2006). Finalmente, discorremos sobre as adaptações intralinguais de obras literárias para o público neoleitor. Falaremos sobre as especificidades desses leitores e sobre as coleções de obras literárias disponibilizadas para esse público-alvo. Avaliaremos, ainda, a adaptação de O Cortiço da coleção É Só o Começo, que foi produzida pela editora L&PM e distribuída pelas escolas brasileiras como parte de um projeto do governo apoiado por instituições como o SESI e a UNESCO. Esta dissertação evidenciará o fato de que a produção de adaptações como a mencionada foi determinante para o surgimento de um gênero literário escrito originalmente para esse público-alvo no Brasil. Em outras palavras, ela enfatizará a importância desse tipo de reescritura para o processo de formação de leitores e de criação de um novo público-leitor. / The aim of this thesis is to examine the role that the interlingual and intralingual adaptation of literary works has played in Brazil, relating it to issues pertaining to other areas of influence that make up culture: the economic, the political and the ideological ones. First, we will define the process of adaptation of literary works. In order to do so we will investigate the similarities and differences between this process and two other rewriting processes: translation and appropriation, based on the thoughts of Georges L. Bastin (1998), Georges L. Bastin & Hugo Vandal-Sirois (2012), Antoine Berman ([1985] 2007), André Lefevere (1992) and Julie Sanders (2006). Then, we will tackle the beginnings of the tradition of adaptation of literary works, which happened in England in the early stages of the 19th century, and we will also deal with the Brazilian context. We will address the interlingual adaptation of literary works for children and teenagers, which was the first one to emerge in Brazil. This sort of adaptation will be pointed out as the precursor of children’s literature as a genre in the country. We will emphasize the roles of Monteiro Lobato, who worked as adaptor during the Brazilian civil dictatorship, and of the adaptors who worked during the military dictatorship – the case of the adaptor Paulo Mendes Campos will be used to enlighten this context. In this moment, we will rely, mostly, on the assumptions of Mário Feijó Borges Monteiro (2002, 2006). Finally, we will bring into discussion the intralingual adaptations of literary works to the “new readers” (our translation for “neoleitores”). We will address the specificities of these readers, and the collections of literary works available to this target audience. Furthermore, we will evaluate the adaptation of O Cortiço, from the É Só o Começo collection, which has been published by L&PM publishing house and distributed to Brazilian schools as part of a government project supported by institutions such as UNESCO and SESI (Brazilian Social Services for Industry). This thesis will make evident the fact that the production of adaptations such as the one mentioned have determined the emergence of a literary genre specially designed to this target audience in Brazil. In other words, it will stress the importance of this type of rewriting for the education process of readers and for the creation of a new readership.

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo investigar as características da tradução intralingual (JAKOBSON, 1960), mais conhecida como adaptação (MILOU, 1973), da obra Maigret tend un piège, de Georges Simenon (1955). A análise, que busca a ocorrência dos universais da tradução (BAKER, 1998) simplificação, normalização, explicitação , foi feita pela observação de dados obtidos com as ferramentas da linguística de corpus, em especial o programa WordSmith Tools®. Além da adaptação, a versão original e a tradução para o português brasileiro (ALMEIDA, 1966) compõem o corpus de estudo da pesquisa, que conta ainda com dois corpora de referência, um em francês e outro em português, utilizados para obter as palavras-chave dos textos em estudo. A obra integral foi comparada à tradução interlinguística e à tradução intralinguística, e o resultado aponta para características comuns entre as duas formas de tradução e características peculiares da adaptação. / The main purpose of this work is to investigate the characteristics of intralingual translation (JAKOBSON, 1960), widely known as adaptation (MILOU, 1973), extracted from the book Maigret tend un piège written by Georges Simenon (1955).The research, which aim is to verify the occurrences of universals of translation: simplification, normalization and explicitation (BAKER, 1998) is based on the data that have been provided through the use of several corpus linguistic tools in special the WordSmith Tools®. In addition to adaptation, the original version and the translation into Brazilian Portuguese (ALMEIDA, 1966) constitute the corpus of this research that still includes two reference corpora one in French and the other one in Portuguese. Both were used to achieve the keywords of the texts under investigation. The original work was compared to the intralingual and interlingual translation. The results indicate that there are similarities between the two forms of translation and common characteristics of adaptation.

Although Portugal is traditionally a subtitling country, with regular exposure to English audiovisual materials, the population's foreign-language skills (English) appear as statistically low. This research seeks to evaluate translation, as an activity in the educational area, and its relevance to foreign-language development and learning; it aims specifically at evaluating the effectiveness of subtitling as a language-learning tool amongst learners in Portugal.The data resulted from three studies. The first two tested the understanding of content through exposure to subtitles. The third evaluated the production skills of EFL students, in a very specific area of language - idiomatic expressions-, via the use of the mother-tongue, after prior exposure to subtitled material.The findings from the 3 studies indicate that the presence of subtitles, interlingual or intralingual, always contribute towards viewers' comprehension of the content, even in culture-specific areas such as idioms.

In this quantitative study, time controlled written English compositions by 39 Chinese university majors of English were analyzed by means of Error Analysis (EA) in order to find out what grammatical errors were made. It investigates errors made by more than one fifth of the participants, in order to see whether they can be ascribed to either interlingual or intralingual influence. An error taxonomy based on previous research was created specifically for the errors encountered in the EA. The following grammatical errors were analyzed in the error analysis: article errors, noun number errors, prepositions errors, and verb errors. The results of the error analysis showed that while Chinese learners of English make mistakes due to both interlingual and intralingual influence, the vast majority are due to interlingual influence. These findings strengthen previous notions that when the target language belongs to another language family than the L1, errors are due more often to interlingual influence (also referred to as negative transfer) than to intralingual influence. / I den här kvantitativa studien har en felanalys gjorts på tidskontrollerade engelskuppsatser skrivna av 39 kinesiska universitetsstudenter med engelska som huvudämne. Studiens syfte var att undersöka vilka typer av grammatiska fel som är vanligast. Den undersöker vilka fel som är frekventa hos studenterna och om de kan hänföras till förstaspråks- eller målspråksinterferens. En felanalys baserad på tidigare forskning utarbetades specifikt för de kategorier som påträffades i felanalysen. Följande grammatiska fel analyserades: artikelfel, fel i substantivets singular- och pluralform, prepositionsfel och verbfel. Resultaten visade att medan kinesiska studenter tenderar att göra misstag som är grundade i både förstaspråks- och målspråksinterferens, så beror de flesta felen på förstaspråksinterferens. De här resultaten styrker tidigare forskning som visar att när målspråket tillhör en annan språkfamilj än förstaspråket, uppstår felen oftare på grund av förstaspråksinterferens (även kallat negativ transfer) än av målspråksinterferens.
