Abstract

Abstract

The paper attempts to investigate the correlation between the three variables of tenor and the characteristics in three different translations of Lun Yu (The Analects) . By discussing three aspects of tenor, namely, role relationship, power and social distance in relation to the characteristics in translations, the paper illustrates why they are correlated and indicates that a systemic functional analysis of texts helps readers to better understand the texts. The findings of this study will give implications to translation studies.
