The purification of violence and the translation of fairy tales: a corpus-based study

Abstract: This study aims to investigate the translation of violence, to propose and to analyse the translation strategies of English Fairytales (EFT) to the Portuguese language. The theoretical framework of this study is based on the interface of Corpus-based Translation Studies (CTS) and Descriptive Translation Studies (DTS). Klingberg's (1986) purification concept adapted as translation strategies proposed by Chesterman (1997). For the alignment and corpus analysis, COPA-TRAD - Parallel Corpus for translation research (Fernandes, L. & Silva, 2014) is used. The analysis revealed that the target text had been translated under moral and religious motivational factors of the source culture because the literature translated in Brazil still had to comply with the Portuguese requirements for translating for children (Coelho, 1987).摘要：本研究旨在探讨暴力内容的翻译问题，并提出并分析英语童话（English Fairytales, EFT）译为葡萄牙语的翻译策略。本研究的理论框架立足于基于语料库的翻译研究（Corpus-based Translation Studies, CTS）与描述性翻译研究（Descriptive Translation Studies, DTS）的交叉界面，采用了克林伯格（1986）提出、后由切斯特曼（1997）适配为翻译策略的净化理念。在语料对齐与语料分析环节，本研究使用了费尔南德斯与席尔瓦（2014）构建的COPA-TRAD——翻译研究平行语料库（Parallel Corpus for translation research）。分析结果表明，鉴于在巴西译就的相关文学作品仍需遵循面向儿童翻译的葡萄牙语相关规范（科埃略，1987），目标文本的翻译受到源语文化中道德与宗教层面动机因素的影响与制约。
