Tradurre il joual. Rappresentazione dell'oralità popolare in un corpus di romanzi di Michel Tremblay e proposta di traduzione di Bonbons Assortis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Il presente lavoro di tesi magistrale affronta le problematiche connesse con la traduzione del joual, ponendole in relazione con una più ampia ricerca sulle modalità di rappresentazione dell’oralità popolare quebecchese (OPQ) in un corpus di romanzi di Michel Tremblay. L’analisi linguistica condotta su tale corpus è propedeutica all’elaborazione della proposta di traduzione dal francese quebecchese all’italiano di Bonbons Assortis, romanzo autobiografico dell’autore citato, pubblicato nel 2002 presso Leméac Éditeur. Il lavoro tratta gli argomenti sopra indicati articolandosi in tre parti. La prima parte delinea i procedimenti grafico-stilistici con i quali l’oralità è rappresentata nella scrittura e, successivamente, offre un quadro della variazione linguistica quebecchese. Nella seconda parte, dopo avere delineato come Tremblay, attraverso una scrittura mimetica e il ricorso ai trucages ortographiques, rappresenti il joual nella produzione teatrale e narrativa, si passa all’analisi corpus-based di 17 romanzi dell’autore, fra i quali anche Bonbons Assortis. Nella terza parte viene proposta la traduzione di quest’ultimo romanzo, seguita da un commento linguistico-traduttologico che include un’analisi del testo fonte e delle strategie traduttive adottate, con alcune riflessioni di carattere metodologico che hanno guidato il lavoro traduttivo. * * * This master's thesis addresses the challenges associated with the translation of joual, framing these challenges within a broader investigation into the representation of Quebecois popular orality (QPO) in a corpus of novels by Michel Tremblay. The linguistic analysis carried out on this corpus serves as a preliminary step toward the translation proposal of Bonbons Assortis, an autobiographical novel by the aforementioned author, published in 2002 by Leméac Éditeur, from Quebecois French into Italian. The study explores these topics across three sections. The first section outlines the graphic and stylistic processes used to represent orality in writing and subsequently provides an overview of linguistic variation in Quebec. The second section examines how Tremblay employs mimetic writing and trucages orthographiques to depict joual in his theatrical and narrative works. This section also includes a corpus-based analysis of 17 of his novels, including Bonbons Assortis. Finally, the third section presents the proposed translation of this novel, supported by a linguistic and translation-oriented commentary that includes a study on the source text and the translation strategies employed, as well as the methodological considerations that informed the entire translation process.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
