Audio description (AD) is a form of accessible audiovisual translation that involves translating ... more Audio description (AD) is a form of accessible audiovisual translation that involves translating from the visual mode into the verbal mode, with a view to providing visually impaired people with access to visual information such as those in movies, theatrical plays, museum exhibitions, and television shows. It enables visually impaired people to comprehend these works fully, ensuring their inclusion in society without the need for a sighted person’s assistance. Within Audiovisual Translation Studies, AD falls under the category of intersemiotic translation, as it involves translation across two different semiotic systems. This MA thesis aims to reflect on the role of specialized knowledge in the production of audio description, considering that AD is a specialized function that requires expertise. The study used a corpus consisting of two Portuguese AD scripts (one translated and one original) of the movie "A Quiet Place", with a focus on the object labels (AMB_OBJ) within their narratological elements. From a process perspective, the research analyzed the essential procedures to achieve well-executed AD, considering it as a specialized function. Building on Corpus Linguistics, it employs a descriptive and exploratory methodology. It uses film narratology as a tool to describe the structures of the AD scripts both qualitatively and quantitatively. It identifies the occurrences of narratological elements and discusses the quantitative findings. Software Subtitle Workshop was used to produce the original AD script and transcribe the original AD script. Software suite WordSmith Tools 8.0 was used to analyze the manually inserted corpus tags – more specifically, its Concord and Wordlist tools were used to search for character description tags and their occurrences
in the ADs. The findings showed that specialized knowledge of AD can contribute to producing a more comprehensive AD script, one which facilitates the understanding of the movie by the visually impaired and the importance of objects to complement an audio description script.
A IMPORTÂNCIA DA PARATRADUÇÃO E DOS PARATEXTOS NA TRADUÇÃO DE LIVROS INFANTIS: FÁBULAS, 2020

Therefore, besides the translation of this text, the paratranslation of these elements is also necessary. The paratranslations contribute for a text to be understood in all its meaning, with its possible significations, thought by the author, designer, editor. In this sense, the research about paratranslation and the paratextual elements in the translation of children's books is important not just to bring the child audience well-done literary work – not only with commercial purposes, but also to promote the development in children, considering they read with all their senses: hearing, sight, touch and, sometimes, smell... and all of this needs to be paratranslated. The research considers the use of the paratextual elements of translations to analyze the social, political, cultural and symbolical differences and similarities, in order to understand possible losses and gains of readers in the paratranslation and translation of children’s literary work – in this case, the fable genre. This work has its theoretical foundation in authors such as Jakobson (1970), Lefevere (1992), Arrojo (1994), Gerard Genette (2009), Yuste Frías (2005, 2007, 2011, 2012, 2014), among other authors who work with translation and/or paratranslation of children’s literary work, with the intention of reflecting on editorial translation, paratranslation and translation of children’s literature.
