ETAPAS E RESULTADO DA AÇÃO TRADUTÓRIA SEGUNDO UMA PERSPECTIVA FUNCIONALISTA

Abstract

This article discusses stages of the translation process based on an activity from the “Translator Training” course in the Translation Studies Graduate Program at UFC (POET-UFC). Students were to translate a text of their choice and, based on Christiane Nord’s functionalist theory (2016), define the translation brief. In addition to reviewing, this paper expands the activity by comparing source and target texts and discussing the strategies used. After the introduction, section two provides a brief overview of the author and source text. Section three addresses Nord’s theory. Section four presents the translation brief and a table with source and target text details. Section five analyzes the translation, based on strategy classifications from Hurtado (2011) and Chesterman (1997). The final section offers reflections and key insights gained throughout the process.
