Abstract:
There are different linguistic approaches to the study of translation issues.This paper takes a functional-pragmatic perspective with the aim of exploring the identification of speaker meaning in relation to translation studies. The focus of the paper is on the functional analysis of the episode of “zi jian nan zi” in the Confucian Lun Yu(the Analects).The conclusion is that with regard to the translation of classic worksitis often difficultorim possible to identify the speaker meaning,and therefore the focus of evaluating translated text should be on whether it expresses the meaning in the product of intralingual translation.

CHEN Yang

2015, 31(2): 17-21,68.

Abstract(379) PDF(7)

Abstract:
Lun Yu(the Analects)has been regarded as a collection of what Confucius and some of his disciples said. From the literature to date, we can see that relevant studies on the text types and their characteristics are few. Working within the Systemic Functional Linguistics framework, this paper attempts to group the text types in Lun Yu into three categories:Quotations, Dialogues and Descriptions, with a few sections belonging to Narratives. Studies of the characteristics concerning different text types can be helpful not only in the contrastive studies of the English and Chinese versions of Lun Yu but also in the evaluation of its translated texts.

Kongzi(Confucius) certainly occupies a special position in the Confucian Lun Yu(known in the West as the Analects),and so does the address forms of him.This paper,with Systemic Functional Linguistics as the the oreticalbasis,aims to look into how the different ways of addressing have been translated in terms of context of culture,context of situation,and context of cotext.The results show that the seemingly simple addressing of Kongzi should be seriously considered for its different aspects in translations.At the same time,the results indicate that the context theory is helpful in assessing the translations.
