A literatura infantil em língua alemã, seus títulos e a tradução funcionalista: aproximações e aplicações teórico-metodológicas

Abstract

Translation Studies is a fertile field of research that has been gaining more and more space within the literature academy , such as the present work, whose focus is on the functionalist aspect of translation, as postulated by Christiane Nord. Here, it is used as a theoretical contribution and methodological tool for the analysis of the titles of works of children's literature, produced in German, in its original and translated versions. T o this end, the aforementioned work had as its research problem the following question: how should the communicative functions performed by a children's literature title be considered at the time of its translation? At the end of this research, it was found that titles, in line with Nord's vision, are texts in themselves and are capable of performing language functions, so that the metalinguistic aspect of title-texts stands out and coexists with other functionalities, based on the textual skopos and the specific linguistic-cultural aspects of each society . Keywords: Translation; Functionalist Translation; Children’s Literature.
