O modelo funcionalista de Nord na análise das traduções de Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland

Abstract

Alice in Wonderland (2014) has several translations in Portuguese. Translating Carroll's work is a great challenge because the work is rich in references, puns, wordplays and rhymes common in the English language. In the present paperwork analyze the translations of Maria Borges (2010), Monteiro Lobato (2005) and NicolauSevcenko (2009) through the functionalist approach of Christiane Nord model (1991). There was also a brief literary analysis and introduction about Carroll and the chosen translators. The objective was to identify the extra and intra-textual factors of the texts, such as sender, intention, place and time, structuring, supra-segmental elements and text effects of each translation. It has been found that each translation has distinct characteristics, but none can be considered better than the other. From the results we can conclude that while a translation has as a bigger focus in fidelity to the original another can focus on the target culture and each translator uses different resources.
