Olha que coisa mais linda: as traduções da canção Garota de Ipanema em inglês, alemão, francês e italiano sob a ótica do sistema de transitividade
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Estudos da Tradução, Florianópolis, 2013.Este estudo analisa a representação da personagem feminina da canção Garota de Ipanema, de Vinicius de Moraes e Tom Jobim, em versões traduzidas para os idiomas inglês, alemão, francês e italiano. Foram levados em consideração aspectos como atributos físicos da garota reproduzidos através de adjetivos, locuções adjetivas e substantivos, bem como aspectos de personalidade expressos pelos verbos relacionados à garota. O método de análise consistiu em aplicar o Sistema de Transitividade proposto por M.A.K. Halliday (1985) como ferramenta de análise do sentido nas traduções a partir dos processos realizados por verbos que tinham como sujeito a garota, além de considerar os seguintes critérios de Tradução de Canção sugeridos por Peter Low (2003): cantabilidade, naturalidade, ritmo, rima e sentido. Perfis estéticos e psicológicos da garota foram traçados a partir das versões estrangeiras e comparados com as características da garota na canção brasileira. Os resultados demonstraram que houve acréscimos e/ou omissões de características físicas da personagem nas traduções, bem como divergências quanto a seus aspectos psicológicos, diferindo, portanto, do padrão de transitividade em relação à garota na canção brasileira. Abstract : This study examines the representation of the female character of the Brazilian bossa nova song Garota de Ipanema by Vinicius de Moraes and Tom Jobim, in their English, German, French and Italian translations. The investigation took into account aspects such as the girl's physical attributes realized through adjectives, nouns and phrases, in addition to aspects of her personality expressed by the verbs related to her. The method of analysis consisted of applying the Transitivity System proposed by M.A.K. Halliday (1985) as a tool to analyze the question of sense in the translations, focusing on the processes performed by verbs whose subject was the girl, and considering the Song Translation criteria suggested by Peter Low (2003): singability, naturalness, rhythm, rhyme and sense. Aesthetic and psychological profiles of the female character were drawn from the translated versions, and compared with the features of the girl in the Brazilian song. The results showed that there were additions and/or omissions of the girl's physical and psychological characteristics, bringing to bear divergences in relation to the transitivity patterns of the female character in the Brazilian song
Humpback whale song on the southern ocean feeding grounds: implications for cultural transmission
No full textMale humpback whales produce a long, complex, and stereotyped song on low-latitude breeding grounds; they also sing while migrating to and from these locations, and occasionally in high-latitude summer feeding areas. All males in a population sing the current version of the constantly evolving display and, within an ocean basin, populations sing similar songs; however, this sharing can be complex. In the western and central South Pacific region there is repeated cultural transmission of song types from eastern Australia to other populations eastward. Song sharing is hypothesized to occur through several possible mechanisms. Here, we present the first example of feeding ground song from the Southern Ocean Antarctic Area V and compare it to song from the two closest breeding populations. The early 2010 song contained at least four distinct themes; these matched four themes from the eastern Australian 2009 song, and the same four themes from the New Caledonian 2010 song recorded later in the year. This provides evidence for at least one of the hypothesized mechanisms of song transmission between these two populations, singing while on shared summer feeding grounds. In addition, the feeding grounds may provide a point of acoustic contact to allow the rapid horizontal cultural transmission of song within the western and central South Pacific region and the wider Southern Ocean
Age-dependent health status and song characteristics in the barn swallow
No full textBird song has been hypothesized to evolve, partly, to signal health status of males, and song features should therefore correlate with parasite load. Immune function, parasitism, and secondary sexual characters can, however, differ between age classes, and any apparent relationship between song and parasite loads can be the result of systematic age effects. We tested for an age-dependent relationship between sexually selected characters and measures of parasitism in a Spanish population of the barn swallow Hirundo rustica. A comparison across age classes revealed that chewing lice load, song duration, mean peak amplitude frequency of songs, and tail length differed significantly between yearlings and adults. In a longitudinal analysis, we found significant evidence for mean peak amplitude frequency of songs, tail length and chewing louse parasitism, and a nonsignificant tendency for song duration to change with age of an individual. We found a significant association between song duration and chewing louse load and between hematocrit and peak amplitude frequency of the rattle, the typical harsh terminal syllable. In tests for associations between song traits and health status, while controlling for age, age and chewing louse load were independently related to song duration. We found a significant relationship between pairing success and song duration, implying that females may use this song trait in their choice of parasite-free males. Although the song of the barn swallow may provide information about both male age and parasite resistance, signaling of health status appears to be independent of age effects, in accordance with the theory of parasite-mediated sexual selection, suggesting that male signals can be used as reliable indicators of parasitism.

Extrapair paternity and the evolution of bird song
No full textBird song is usually considered to have evolved in the context of sexual selection. Because extrapair paternity is a major component of sexual selection, mating advantages at the social level for males that produce songs of high quality may be transformed into higher success in extrapair paternity. Therefore, males with longer and more complex songs should suffer less from extrapair paternity intraspecifically, whereas species with high rates of extrapair paternity, reflecting intense sperm competition, should produce more elaborate songs. Although some intraspecific studies demonstrated a negative link between features of songs and extrapair paternity in own nest, others failed to detect such a relationship. Contrary to expectation, a meta-analysis of all studies revealed no significant intraspecific evidence for songs being associated with extrapair paternity. In addition, in comparative analyses based on generalized least squares (GLS) models, we found that no measures of song complexity and temporal output were significantly related to extrapair paternity interspecifically, even when potentially confounding factors such as social mating system, life history, migration, habitat, or sexual dichromatism were held constant. Only plumage dichromatism was significantly related to extrapair paternity. The absence of both intra- and interspecific relationships between measures of song variability and extrapair paternity suggests that factors other than postmating sexual selection have been the important evolutionary forces shaping differences in song.

Seasonal changes in patterns of gene expression in avian song control brain regions
No full textPhotoperiod and hormonal cues drive dramatic seasonal changes in structure and function of the avian song control system. Little is known, however, about the patterns of gene expression associated with seasonal changes. Here we address this issue by altering the hormonal and photoperiodic conditions in seasonally-breeding Gambel's white-crowned sparrows and extracting RNA from the telencephalic song control nuclei HVC and RA across multiple time points that capture different stages of growth and regression. We chose HVC and RA because while both nuclei change in volume across seasons, the cellular mechanisms underlying these changes differ. We thus hypothesized that different genes would be expressed between HVC and RA. We tested this by using the extracted RNA to perform a cDNA microarray hybridization developed by the SoNG initiative. We then validated these results using qRT-PCR. We found that 363 genes varied by more than 1.5 fold (>log(2) 0.585) in expression in HVC and/or RA. Supporting our hypothesis, only 59 of these 363 genes were found to vary in both nuclei, while 132 gene expression changes were HVC specific and 172 were RA specific. We then assigned many of these genes to functional categories relevant to the different mechanisms underlying seasonal change in HVC and RA, including neurogenesis, apoptosis, cell growth, dendrite arborization and axonal growth, angiogenesis, endocrinology, growth factors, and electrophysiology. This revealed categorical differences in the kinds of genes regulated in HVC and RA. These results show that different molecular programs underlie seasonal changes in HVC and RA, and that gene expression is time specific across different reproductive conditions. Our results provide insights into the complex molecular pathways that underlie adult neural plasticity
