Negative Cultural Transfer in Interpreting and Its Enlightenments to Interpretation Teaching

论文摘要

语言迁移理论是二语习得及心理语言学研究的课题,它指的是母语对二语习得产生影响的过程。如果母语促进二语的学习,我们就称之为正迁移。反之,则称为负迁移。负迁移可以是语音上的,也可以是词汇上的,而本文则侧重于负迁移的文化层面。口译的学习是跨语言的学习,它是两种或两种以上语言之间的口语转换活动,但是又不同于简单口语表达的交际行为。口译学习者在学习初期,无形中受到母语思维、习惯以及文化因素的影响,进行不准确的口译,并未传达出其深层含义,必然会出现文化负迁移现象。为了证明学生在口译实践中确实存在文化负迁移现象,本文通过实证研究,即让30名学生进行现场汉英交替口译,并对其口译结果和造成文化负迁移的原因进行分析,提出尝试性的口译教学策略,比如在口译教学中增加文化测试内容,导入文化因素等等,为以后的口译教学实践提供借鉴。本文从负迁移的文化层面来研究初学者口译过程中产生文化负迁移的原因,并将其和口译教学实践结合起来,是一个从全新角度重新审视语言学研究与口译教学研究的大胆尝试。
