Abstract

This study analyzes meaning construction in the subtitling from Brazilian Portuguese to French in the short film “Eu Não Quero Voltar Sozinho”, based on Frame Semantics. The research identifies the semantic similarity between audio and subtitles and explores how textual and visual information interact in interlingual translation. It adopts the multimodal annotation methodology of FrameNet Brasil, adapted to integrate visual elements. The results highlight how translational choices are expressed through frames and suggest ways to assess audiovisual translation. The study contributes to the multimodal dataset ReINVenta, aimed at developing frame-based artificial intelligence systems.
