Sobre as instâncias de tradução da partícula aspetual chinesa 'guo' para o Português com base num corpus paralelo Chinês-Português

The research work, which we present here, seeks to analyse the conversion tendencies of the Chinese aspectual particle guo into Portuguese. In Chinese, the aspectual particle guo appears after verbs, expressing the actions in the past and indicating the experiential aspect. As in Portuguese there is no such word category, the functions performed by this Chinese aspectual particle, during the translation, are transmitted in Portuguese through different syntactic and lexical resources. To verify the conversion trends of this aspectual particle into Portuguese, we used a parallel corpus consisting of Chinese and Portuguese texts, with Chinese being the source language and Portuguese the target language. By analysing the results found in the corpus in relation to the use of the aspectual particle guo, we sought to discuss the possible conversion orientations of this aspectual particle into Portuguese and, in this way, we hope to help translators to understand and to master these possible conversions.
