Abstract

This paper aims at presenting the methodological procedure used in order to carry out a study in the area of Translation Studies based on Corpus Linguistics (CL). Theoretical points of view regarding Translation Studies based on Corpora will be presented, as well as Chesterman’s (1997) Translation Strategies. The corpus selected for the study is a compilation of online news reports from Reuters, BBC, The New York Times on the Web and UOL Jornaisregarding Middle Eastconflicts originally written in English and translated into Brazilian Portuguese. The online news reports will be analysed in order to identify the translation strategies suggested byChesterman (1997) following the criteria –from syntactic to semantic and then to pragmatic –in order to reflect on the translation practice concerning online news reports. The research methodology will be described followed by the corpus analysis description. After the corpus analysis, some comments on the translation of online news reports as well as on the contribution of Corpora to Translation Studies will be made.
