A tradução de acarnenses de Aristófanes para o cearensês

Abstract

The backwoodsman translation of Acharnians presents alternative expression of the Portuguese language to the expressiveness of Aristophanic comedy. Both the comedy and the country life are revealing of language artifi ces of town. The rural dialect is used in the language of the characters of the fi eld. Remained normal or cultured speaks to the most urban characters. Despite the appearance, our translation is not characterized as ethnocentric because it seeks the loyalty and the approach to the Greek original. Some words were left unchanged, in order to make better understand, since there is no backwoodsman who speaks entirely different of the city dwellers, and they make fun imitating the talk of the matuto about to integrate some modes of expressions in everyday life, in communication with the closer people, recognizing the language code that also not unique to a region or city. There is certainly the most intensive use of some features in certain regions. The media, especially the soap operas, have released many dialects of the northeastern hillbillies, or not, of Brazil across the world.
