A tradução funcionalista do gênero textual peça teatral para o ensino da variação linguística em espanhol

Abstract

Currently, the Translation Studies area has developed research that explores its interdisciplinary aspect. Within the context of translation and foreign language teaching, some studies have had positive results by joining translation activities with the practice of didactic sequences with authentic text genres (BARRIENTOS, 2014; DEMÉTRIO, 2014; LAIÑO, 2014). Therefore, this essay proposes the practice of functionalist translation of the theater play genre, in the form of a didactic sequence, to address actual cases of linguistic variation in the Spanish language. For this purpose, we based our work on the Functionalist Theory of Translation (REISS, VERMEER, 1996; NORD, 1991, 1994, 1996, 2012), as well as on the approximation between translation and linguistic variation (BOLAÑOS-CUELLAR, 2000; MAYORAL, 1998, BORTONI-RICARDO, 2005; TRAVAGLIA, 2013; PONTES, 2014) and on the device of didactic sequences with text genres (DOLZ, NOVERRAZ, SCHENEUWLY, 2004; CRISTÓVÃO, 2009; COSTA-HÜRBES, SIMIONE, 2014). As a teaching proposal, we provide the example of the initial project of a didactic sequence with the translation of the theater play genre with a focus on the approach to the linguistic variation in the forms of address for the 2nd person in different Spanish-speaking countries. This didactic strategy can allow the enhancement and development of the learners’ language skills, as well as raise their awareness about the heterogeneity of the languages involved in the translation process.
