“…These findings corroborate Rebechi and Moura's (2017) analysis of phraseologies in Brazilian recipes published in English and in Portuguese. The authors concluded that recipes written in English resort to more technical terms than their counterparts aimed at the Brazilian audience.…”

This article shares the findings from a study aimed to create a bilingual English-Portuguese glossary of terms and collocations characteristic of restaurant reviews, especially concerning the search for translation equivalents. Relying on the assumptions of corpus linguistics, we conducted both quantitative and qualitative analyses to investigate a comparable corpus of texts published in the United States and Brazil. The manual investigation of simple and compound keywords retrieved with Sketch Engine showed that the functional translation of texts pertaining to the genre restaurant review in that pair of languages goes far beyond terminological equivalence, since it should also consider the specificities of the genre in both languages and cultures. We observed that not only are American texts much longer than their Brazilian Portuguese counterparts, but the former are also significantly more technical than the latter. Moreover, restaurant reviews unveil a number of cultural differences when written in different languages for a distinct target audience. To produce texts that work properly for the target reader, the translator should be aware of the conventions of this domain in both languages and cultures before deciding what aspects should be maintained, adapted, or omitted. In addition, elements that do not recur in both lists also reveal cultural differences between texts of a similar genre. We concluded that corpora may not only help translators to interpret source language texts, but also assist them in finding solutions for the translation process.

“…More than that, used in isolation some terms are insufficient to guarantee understanding of fluent texts. Specific phraseology is also essential for verbal texts (Rebechi & da Silva, 2017). Further on the article discusses the role of phraseology in recipes.…”

O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar a metodologia adotada na busca por equivalentes para os termos e fraseologias que compõem um glossário bilíngue português-inglês de críticas gastronômicas. As traduções de textos culinários muitas vezes revelam apagamento de elementos culturais e perda de convencionalidade, possivelmente devido à escassez de obras de referência na área. Para auxiliar tradutores e redatores a produzirem textos que levem em conta a naturalidade e as diferenças entre línguas e culturas, compilamos um corpus comparável português brasileiro-inglês estadunidense de críticas gastronômicas e fizemos um levantamento de termos funcionalmente equivalentes. Apoiamo‑nos nos pressupostos da Linguística de Corpus e da Teoria Funcionalista da Tradução. As análises quantitativa e qualitativa mostraram que, em diferentes graus nos dois idiomas, esse gênero textual faz uso expressivo de linguagem metafórica e idiomática na descrição de serviços, ambientes e pratos.
