This dissertation is a qualitative analysis of the translation of referential (extra-linguistic) and stylistic cultural markers in two parallel corpora containing documents from the area of private law, one with originals in Brazilian Portuguese and translations in English and the other with originals in English and translations in Brazilian Portuguese.The corpora contain translations performed by professionals, not students of translation.The cultural markers were categorized thematically to allow identification of translation strategy trends.The analyses included classification of translation solutions using the modalities of Aubert (2005), with modifications, and degrees of approximation between the receptor and the original text.Two comparable corpora in English and Brazilian Portuguese were also compiled and used as a reference for stylistic questions.
