语法整合与句式翻译认知过程研究

论文摘要

翻译研究历史悠久,已有的翻译文献大多以结果为取向,重在研究原、译文的等值问题,也有少数以过程为取向,探讨翻译中的心理或认知活动,然而把翻译过程看作语言和认知之间交互作用的研究极为少见。本研究从概念和语言整合(即语法整合)的角度出发,认为翻译是语言和认知交互作用的结果,翻译中使用的不同的文本形式是动态整合操作的产物,翻译就是理解和重构这一动态整合操作的过程。本研究通过对英语致使移动句式在汉译过程中所隐含的认知操作的分析,旨在为句式翻译中的认知操作提供一个统一的框架模式,同时揭示英汉致使移动句在生成过程中语法整合操作的异同及其表征差异的实质所在。从语法整合的角度看,原文和译文的生成是两个独立的概念和语言整合过程,翻译过程首先需要有意识地解构原文的整合结构,还原其所承载的交际事件的图式和语言输入结构;译文是将还原得来的结构与目标语句式重新整合的结果。翻译中所采用的不同的方法或“策略”实质上是目标语中不同的概念和语言整合操作的结果;翻译中的“不对等”主要源于,在传达同一事件结构时各自语言语法允准下所惯常采用的概念和语言整合操作的差异。该研究从语法整合这一全新的视角来阐释句式翻译过程中的认知操作,以期不仅能对翻译(包括机器翻译)而且对语言学及英汉对比等研究有所裨益。
