Resumen

Este estudio investiga cómo se visualizan las canciones infantiles chinas en los libros ilustrados contemporáneos desde una perspectiva multimodal. Los datos para el análisis de casos se seleccionan de tres libros ilustrados de rimas chinas. Basándose en la tipología de la traducción de Jakobson (1959), el estudio considera los libros ilustrados como textos multimodales y examina la adaptación de las canciones infantiles chinas a los libros ilustrados contemporáneos como un proceso de traducción intralingüística e intersemiótica. Analiza en primer lugar las adaptaciones modernas de las canciones infantiles chinas tradicionales en los textos verbales, y a continuación discute las interacciones texto-imagen en los libros ilustrados para explorar la traducción intersemiótica de lo verbal a lo visual. Los resultados de la investigación indican que la función didáctica o la implicación política de las canciones infatiles chinas se debilita o se omite, por lo general, en la traducción intralingüística, mientras que las canciones narrativas más creativas y divertidas se adaptan para confeccionar los pasatiempos y el estilo de vida de los niños contemporáneos. Además, en la traducción intersemiótica entre textos e imágenes en los libros ilustrados, se emplean métodos flexibles y variados de acuerdo con las diferentes interrelaciones texto-imagen.
