中国传统语言学术语英译策略与认知度

English translation strategy and the level of recognition of traditional Chinese technical terms

本文对中国传统语言学术语意译、仿译和音译策略及其存在的认知度问题做了实证性分析,用以说明不同语言对人类共同术语概念的贡献是不同的。这种贡献的不同并不取决于语言,而是取决于语言翻译的流向以及语言所指称和依托的概念、范畴和知识体系的普遍认同度。中国传统语言学术语是中华传统文化术语的组成部分。因此,传统语言学术语的英译策略和翻译的认知度问题,也是"中华思想文化术语"通过语言翻译对外国际传播的普遍性问题。
