O uso do determinante nominal no espaço metafórico da Libras como estratégia de tradução: uma análise linguística do poema Canção do exílio

Abstract

The objective of this work is to analyze the translation of the poem Song of Exile by the poet Antônio Gonçalves Dias, focusing on the use of nominal determinants in metaphorical space considering as a translation strategy. This is an investigation that involves the translation of the linguistic pair Portuguese Language - Pounds, where both have their own linguistic elements and structures. The Portuguese language, being vocal-auditory has as main characteristic the manipulation of the voice, and the Libras that is gestual-visual modality uses non-manual expressions and pointing marks to its referential elements in their articulated statements in space. Thus, it is essential that the translator understand these peculiarities and reflect on their political role in translating poetic literature to deaf audiences in a way that is acceptable and enjoyable. The methodology will be qualitative, because this research aims to analyze and describe the use and
effect of the use of the nominal determinant in the metaphorical space in poetic translation for Libras. In order to support this research, we mainly use the theoretical contributions of Prado and Lessa-de-Oliveira (2012) and Prado (2014) on the nominal determinants in Libras; Ribeiro (2020) as to the understanding of poetic elements that can be used in translations of cordelistic poems in the linguistic pair Língua Portuguesa - Libras; and, Sutton-Spence (2018) with regard to the analysis of productions in Libras poetry genre. As a result, it is understood that during the signaling of the poem Song of Exile, the translator makes use of the metaphorical space on the right, left and central sides, as well as the sign "local" as a nominal determinant to mark respectively the countries and whenever necessary use the movement of the body to the right and/or left, to incorporate the referents, and the direction of the look with the inclination of the head when it comes to one of the sites. These strategies are used in order to return to the nominal determinants in poetic translation, converting the translated text into a more visual and appropriate product the Deaf Translation Norms.
