The Conversion of Conceptual Structures in Pragmatics-oriented C-E Translation
HE Zi-ran
2015, 31(6): 1-6.
Abstract(325) PDF(8)
Abstract:
This paper discusses pragmatics-oriented translation,which concerns the theory and practice of translation from the pragmatic perspectives.The key issue of pragmatics-oriented translation is how to translate for the target-language reader,and get a shift of equivalent effects from the source text to the target one.To realize this,the target text should be done in consideration of“three dimensions”:the writer,translator and audience.It is necessary to pay attention to the ways of thinking and the conversion of conceptual structures in the process of translation.Expounding the contrasts between Chinese and English,I find that in translation process different conceptual structures exist due to the diversities of culture.In order to convert the source text into the target one appropriately,we must ponder upon the possibility of one concept having different conceptual structures,and,thus,accordingly,different language structures should be used in translation.Finally,this paper stresses that,as native Chinese translators engaging in C-to-E translation,we must do more translation practice,and in contrastive studies between the two languages acquire a good grasp of conceptual structures existing due to the different ways of thinking.Only by so doing,will we be able to select appropriate language structures for the target text,and achieve a shift of equivalent effects between the two languages.
Ditransitive Construction Revisited
XIONG Xue-liang
2015, 31(6): 7-12.
Abstract(350) PDF(4)
Abstract:
Construction Grammar is systematic with interactions between constructions and constituents resulting in constructional coercions.Another difference between Construction Grammar and Traditional Grammar lies in the realization of constructional schema into prototypes and non-prototypes.A typical case is the di-transitive construction in which MOTION is implicitly expressed prototypically while in non-prototypical cases it is entailed in English but tangibly expressed in Chinese.

A Construction-Grammar-based Approach to E-C Translation of Personal Names
YANG Zi
2015, 31(6): 20-25.
Abstract(396) PDF(8)
Abstract:
The study of personal name translation should not be limited to transliteration principles,considering context-triggered complexities such as formal features of translated names,the choice of forms other than names,and so on.Bearing the advantage of a comparatively comprehensive perspective,the Construction-Grammar-based approach is thus introduced.An effort is made to describe E-C translation of personal names within the Constructionism-based model for translation process,and classification is given to both the Chinese correspondence of English name constructions and translation strategies shown in the variety of correspondence.Then the mechanism of strategy selection is presented through an analytic examination of the second stage in translation process—map-2(the representation of TT)construction.It is proposed that selection of translation strategies is geared to the embodiment of map-2 built by individual translators,and complexity of personal name translation can be accounted for by the difference of map-2 construction in dynamic translation contexts.
Phase in Modern Mandarin Chinese: A Systemic Functional Approach
HE Wei, GAO Jian-hui
2015, 31(6): 26-36.
Abstract(207) PDF(4)
Abstract:
Previous studies on phase in modern mandarin Chinese have been mainly focused on the verb itself,i.e.they have mainly explored the temporal meaning expressed by the verb itself.In addition,they have not been carried out with in a systematic and comprehensive framework.This paper is intended to make a detailed study of phase in modern mandarin Chinese from the perspective of Systemic Functional Linguistics.It aims to reveal the relationship between clauses representing different types of processes and different types of phase.The research results show that the Predicator in the clause is the basic element expressing the meaning of phase,and that other syntactic elements may play an important role in the construal of phase.
