Uma proposta de produção de legenda para surdos e ensurdecidos em português brasileiro do filme Spirit – O Corcel Indomável

Abstract

Drawing on accessibility to the deaf and hard-of-hearing public, this research, in a first moment, presents a proposal of elaboration of SDH in Brazilian Portuguese to the film “Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron”, based on the parameters for accessible audiovisual productions (NAVES et al. 2016; NASCIMENTO, 2013). Secondly, it aims to analyze the grammatical features employed in the SDH produced and in the subtitle for deaf people in English, considering their differences and adopting the perspectives of the systemic functional linguistics of Portuguese (FIGUEREDO, 2011) and English (HALLIDAY, MATHIESSEN, 2014). Since this research focuses on the production of an SDH and its description, it fits into the type of descriptive search oriented to the translation product. Thus, based on the systemic functional linguistics, which presents a solid theoretical, descriptive and methodological basis for the development of the research, one can explain the grammatical resources and the implications of the source and target texts individually. A subtitling program (Subtitle Edit) and electronic spreadsheets were used to record the SDH sound descriptions in Brazilian Portuguese and SDH in English. The results of the research demonstrated differences between the subtitles of the two languages, the difficulties faced during the subtitling process and the predominance of certain types of clauses observed in the subtitles in English and Brazilian Portuguese.
