建构“社会翻译学”:名与实的辨析

Socio-Translation Studies:The Name and Nature of a Discipline under Construction

当前,随着社会学视阈下的翻译研究模式日渐兴起,"社会翻译学"作为翻译学与社会学之间的一门交叉学科已经开始萌生。作为建构社会翻译学的一种努力,本文以名实问题为核心,在"名"的层面上着重从认识论的角度揭示并论证了该学科存在的合理性、在实际研究中的有效性以及支撑其长期发展的科学性,同时在"实"的层面上从本体论的角度界定了该学科具体的研究对象,从方法论的角度阐述了其适用的研究方法,以期通过对其名与实的辨析促进社会翻译学学科基本理论框架的形成。
