论范畴理论参照下的译前准备分析

论文摘要

在口译研究相对于笔译研究仍显滞后的今天，国内外口译界将有限的注意力较多地投入到对口译技能培养提高、口译教学及口译质量评估的研究当中，也有部分研究者致力于探讨口译的思维过程，口译理论和模型的发展，对译前准备方面的揣摩则较少。现有的有限研究大部分笼统地停留在方法论的层面，多是译员经验的思辨总结，研究者们试图提供对于口译总体适应的方法论指导。本文首先对译前准备进行了介绍，阐述了译前准备的重要性。译前准备是口译实践中不可或缺的重要步骤，且在很大程度上决定了口译实践的成功与否。因而，译前准备要根据具体的口译任务展开，不同范畴要求不同的策略，也规定了内容的侧重。继而，本文将范畴理论引入口译研究。范畴理论是认知语言学中的一个重要话题。从亚里士多德的经典范畴论到维根斯坦的“家族相似理论”再到有关范畴的实验等，都对揭示人类认识事物的本质和特点提供了有益的启示。因此，范畴理论对译前准备工作的开展也有着重要意义。本文通过理论分析、对比研究等研究方法，进一步明确了译前准备研究的对象和种属，意在为不同范畴口译任务的译前准备提供有效的方法论指导。
