关联理论视阈下汉语称谓语英译研究 ——以《红楼梦》为例

论文摘要

本论文以《红楼梦》的两个英译本为基础,采用对比的研究方法对比分析关联理论在称谓语英译过程中的应用。关联理论是由法国的Dan Sperber和英国的Deirdre Wilson在H.P. Grice会话原则的基础上中和认知科学语言哲学和人类行为学的研究成果所创立的。关联理论把语言交际看作是一个明示——推理的过程。而关联性的强弱正式关联理论的核心,它受到两方面的影响,即推理努力及语境效果。翻译作为一种特殊的交际形式存在于不同的两种语言之间,也是一种推理过程。从关联的角度去实施翻译即为一个依据最大关联寻求对话语的理解与诠释的过程,从而达到译文与原文的相似,帮助译者准确地表达出原文作者的意图。称谓语作为一种重要的社会语言学现象,含有浓厚的文化特点和语言特点。《红楼梦》作为中国文化中的一颗璀璨的明珠书中共有大大小小一百多个人物,关系复杂,将汉语称谓语的用法表现得淋漓尽致。本文从关联理论的角度,证实关联理论在称谓语翻译过程中的重要性,意在指出翻译称谓语时,译者应最大程度的理解原文作者的含义,以最大关联为准则,真实、准确的表达原文作者使用称谓语的意图,同时使译文读者通过最小的推理努力得到最佳的语境效果,最大程度上达到文化上的忠实。
