ABSTRACT

Recurring expressions and idiolectal speech patterns are often used by the scriptwriters of sitcoms to portray the personality of some of the characters. These expressions, which in many cases end up becoming popular, are so significant that they need be kept in the translated versions of these series. A corpus-based script analysis method that detects these recurring expressions and idiolectal speech patterns semi-automatically has been successfully tested in a professional environment. It has also been piloted in a translation classroom twice in the form of a task-based teaching unit consisting of four tasks: a preliminary task, two analyses or pre-translation tasks and one final translation task. In this article we: (1) describe typical AVT trainer profiles; (2) comment on publications dealing with corpus-based AVT training; (3) explain a corpus-based script analysis method designed to optimise time, effort, resources and coherence when translating multi-season series; and (4) present the corpus-based teaching unit, including task sheets and a tutorial, plus the results of a questionnaire study carried out after the implementation of the method described.

摘要

情景喜剧的编剧经常使用重复表达和低调的演讲模式来描绘某些角色的个性。这些表达式在许多情况下最终变得流行，它们是如此重要，以至于需要将它们保留在这些系列的翻译版本中。一种基于语料库的脚本分析方法可以半自动地检测这些重复出现的表情和句型语音模式，已在专业环境中成功测试。它还以基于任务的教学单元的形式在翻译教室中进行了两次试点，该任务单元包括四个任务：一个初步任务，两个分析或预翻译任务和一个最终翻译任务。在本文中，我们：（1）描述典型的AVT培训师简介；（2）对基于语料库的AVT培训的出版物发表评论；（3）解释了一种基于语料库的脚本分析方法，该方法旨在优化多季节系列翻译时的时间，精力，资源和连贯性；（4）介绍基于语料库的教学单元，包括任务表和教程，以及实施上述方法后进行的问卷调查的结果。
