汉英词典翻译的篇章语言学视角

论文摘要

本论文从篇章语言学的角度对汉英词典的翻译进行了较为系统的研究,考察了篇章论框架下汉英词典翻译中的相关问题及可能的解决方法,以期对汉英词典的编纂及翻译提供有益的参考。由于篇章语言学本身并非一个完全成熟的语言学理论,而且包含不同的视角,本论文主要从篇章性的7个标准出发,讨论汉英词典的翻译问题。论文为跨学科研究,在讨论中融合了篇章语言学、词典学及翻译学的相关理论。 本论文除了导言和结论以外共分为六章。导言部分主要阐述了本研究的目的、选题的缘由和研究的范围,并从词典学与语言学、翻译学、及篇章语言学三个方面做了文献综述。 第一章讨论词典作为篇章的概念。本章首先讨论了一些主要的语言学理论与词典编纂的相互关系,为把篇章语言学引入词典学做了理论上的铺垫。所论及的语言学理论包括社会语言学、结构语言学、转换生成语言学、认知语言学及语料库语言学。笔者认为,虽然这些语言学理论从不同角度为词典编纂提供了理论支持或指导,但就汉英词典的翻译而言,它们并没有太大的用处。而篇章语言学却能为汉英词典的翻译提供一个较为系统的研究框架。在这一认识的指导下,笔者对篇章语言学做了简要回顾,对词典工具论、词典交际论这两个观点做了批判性的评论,并在此基础上强化了词典篇章论的观点。 第二章讨论形式衔接及意义连贯与汉英词典的翻译问题。笔者发现,就词典文本而言,形式衔接主要是指词典中参见的设置,尽管其他形式衔接的方式在词典文本中也很常见,而意义连贯则主要体现在词典释义的一致性上。具体而言,意义连贯包括条目选择与安排的一致性、条目译文的一致性、用法标签的一致性、解释性对等词的一致性、词类标注的一致性以及条目译文的多样性等问题。 第三章讨论可接受性与汉英词典的翻译问题。事实上,词典文本的可接受性主要体现在条目及配例译文的可接受性方面。而汉英词典翻译的可接受性可从两个方面讨论:(1)如何协调译文的准确性和地道性,(2)如何看待新词翻译的可
