Resumo: | While analysing convergences between the use of translation in language teaching and the practice with books known as graded readers (LLFs), we hypothesize that the language facilitation that characterizes these books can be seen as a type of translation, known as linguistic mediation (in German, “Sprachmittlung”). In order to deepen the study of graded readers and considering the interest of German learners in literature in German language, we analysed a graded reader for learners at the B1 level and compared it with the original text. The chosen book was Die Verwandlung [Franz Kafka], adapted by Achim Seiffert (2003). Using computational tools we generated quantitative data related to corpus linguistics, and verified to what extent the lexical profile and structural characteristics of this book contribute to the facilitation of the text. The results show that the analysed graded reader brings learners closer to Kafkas original novel and can contribute to the expansion of their vocabulary, thus characterizing linguistic mediation. Graded readers also enable the reading of classics of literature in German language at intermediate stages of language learning, which would otherwise be difficult or impossible to deal with. |

Para aprofundar os estudos sobre os LLFs e considerando o interesse dos aprendizes de alemão como língua estrangeira pela literatura em língua alemã, analisamos uma obra facilitada para nível B1 e a comparamos com o texto original. A obra escolhida foi Die Verwandlung, de Franz Kafka, adaptada por Achim Seiffarth (2003). Utilizando ferramentas computacionais, geramos dados quantitativos ligados à linguística de corpus, buscando verificar em que medida o perfil lexical e as características estruturais dessa obra contribuem para a facilitação do texto. Como resultado, entendemos que o livro de leitura facilitada (LLF) analisado aproxima os aprendizes do texto e pode contribuir para a expansão de seu vocabulário, realizando, portanto, a mediação linguística. Além disso, os LLFs tornam possível a leitura de clássicos da literatura em língua alemã nos estágios intermediários de aprendizagem dessa língua, que de outra forma seria difícil ou impossível.Universidade de São Paulo.
