A REPRESENTAÇÃO DAS MULHERES EM TRADUÇÕES PARA O INGLÊS E PORTUGUÊS DO EVANGELHO DE LUCAS.

Abstract

From a linguistic discursive approach, the present monograph proposes an analysis of women representation in the Gospel of Luke written in English and Brazilian Portuguese as presented in the trilingual New International Bible (2013). The research attempts to study how female social actors are placed in social practices and how they are represented by Jesus. This monograph discusses the system of van Leeuwen (1996) on social actors' representation, especially personalization and impersonalization categories and its subcategories. It also discusses speech and thought presentation developed by Leech and Short (2007). Word (2016) and AntConc (ANTHONY, 2018) software were used for corpus annotation and data collection, respectively. The data analysis revealed that personalization category was more applied in the narrative. Nomination, Classification, and Relational Identification processes had a major recurrence in both languages. Narrative report of action and direct speech were the main forms of characters’ control by the narrator. The findings show that women are personalized, individualized and respected by being given human valued features.
