Abstract

The translation from oral language to the Sign Language has been attracting attention as the Deaf Community has been increasing participation in predominantly hearing people society. In this way, the growth of the visibility of deaf people in society increases the number of translations and consequently it increases the demand of translators and interpreters of Sign Language as their playing field is increase too. In Brazil, the translation of songs from Portuguese to Sign Language has gained more and more prominence. However, when the translation involves two languages with different modalities, there are linguistics questions, such the poetry, and cultural questions, because the target public of the translations does not have the same sound experience as the source public has. This paper aims to identify and to describe the translation modalities in translated songs by deaf translators and by hearing translators, it has base on Aubert (1998 apud Vinay e Darbelnet) and Rigo (2013). Also, this paper underscores the cultural differences of each group of translator. The methodology was based on analyzing six translations separately and each identified translation modality was noted and quantified. The results came from the comparison between the world experience between deaf and hearing translators. This study finds that hearing translators are more literal and simultaneous in their translations and the deaf translators are more visual sensibility because of their experiences of world are construct by visual perception.
