Abstract: The present study proposes a comparative analysis of the translation and retranslation of the American Gothic elements in the book The Haunting of Hill House, written by North-American author Shirley Jackson, utilizing the technical translation procedures described by Barbosa (1990) in her book Procedimentos técnicos de tradução: uma nova proposta. To this end, we first conceptualized and defined the American Gothic, linking it to the elements present in the book. Later, since the first translation, done by Edna Jansen de Mello, was published in 1983, and the retranslation, done by Débora Landsberg, was published years later, in 2021, the study also drew upon the ideas of retranslation outlined by Berman (2017), Gambier (2020), and Faleiros and Mattos (2014). The findings revealed that the translation procedure most frequently used was literal translation, followed by omission versus explicitation and transposition. Eventually, it was concluded that a first translation is not always necessarily more prone to naturalization, and that the reasons for retranslation vary; furthermore, it was concluded that literary translation, since based on texts that allow for diverse readings and interpretations, is a personal and creative activity. Thus, the focus was on the autonomy and freedom exercised by both translators and on the differences between their translation choices.

The study aims to examine the main translation challenges and difficulties encountered throughout the translation process. The theoretical framework draws on Functionalist Translation Theory, particularly Christiane Nord’s (1991; 1997) contributions regarding Skopos and the principle of loyalty, while also incorporating perspectives from Terminology Studies and specialized translation scholars. Methodologically, this research adopts a retrospective and introspective approach. Based on a corpus consisting of five selected articles, ten representative cases were identified and classified according to Nord’s three categories of translation problems: cultural, pragmatic, and linguistic. The analysis discusses the strategies adopted to address gaps in the target audience’s background knowledge, including the use of translation couplets for culture-specific items and legal terms (Plano de Metas and Fiscal Responsibility Law), the expansion of institutional acronyms (CNPJ), and adaptation to international orthotypographic conventions, such as the use of em dashes. The findings also highlight the importance of rigorous terminological research in preventing structural false cognates (bank branch) and ensuring the accurate use of macroeconomic terminology (Net Funded Debt). The results confirm the initial research hypothesis, demonstrating that the main challenges in specialized Economics translation arise from two dimensions: extralinguistic factors, related to professional and technical working conditions, and intralinguistic factors, involving issues of standardization, terminology, and academic writing conventions. The functionalist framework proved effective in providing a systematic basis for justifying the adaptations and solutions required by the academic genre.

The starting point is the premise that traditional legal language is characterized by verbosity, the use of archaisms, and technical terminology (legalese), hindering comprehension by the lay readers, compromising the principle of access to Justice. In line with this objective, this study presents an intralingual translation into English of a decision by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, applying the principlesof the Plain English Movement, thereby demonstrating its effectivenessas a strategy for making legal texts more accessible. The theoretical framework is based on Jakobson's concept of intralingual translation, the principles of the Plain English Movement proposed by Wydick, Garner, Goldstein, and Lieberman, and the functionalist approach of Christiane Nord. This study adopts a qualitative approach, developed in four stages: corpus selection, textual analysis, intralingual translation, and commented translation. The results indicate that lexical simplification, textual restructuring, and the replacement of archaisms constitute effective strategies for improving the comprehensibility of legal texts without compromising their integrity. It can be concluded that legal intralingual translation represents a promising field for translators, although it requires specialized training.
