语料库翻译学:在名与实之间

Corpus Translation Studies:Between Its Name and Nature

通过回顾近二十年来国内语料库翻译学的立名历程,梳理语料库翻译研究的博士学位论文、国家社科项目和教育部项目等成果,本文发现目前国内语料库翻译学在语料库的建设与技术、翻译策略与方法、翻译语言特征和翻译风格等领域取得丰硕的成果,但同时也存在以下5种倾向:(1)重笔译而轻口译;(2)重文学而轻应用;(3)重共时而轻历时;(4)重文本而轻文化;(5)重描写而轻解释。基于当前的成就与不足,本文提出未来语料库翻译学发展的4条突破路径:从产品走向过程、从共时研究走向历时研究、从单模态走向多模态以及从数据生产走向知识生产。

The present research reviews the progress of how the name of Corpus Translation Studies has been established in China over the past two decades,and surveys the field-related doctoral dissertations and projects funded by NSSFC and the Humanities and Social Sciences Foundation of Ministry of Education of China.Data shows that substantial findings have been achieved in the sub­fields of corpus construction and technology,translation strategies and methods,features of translated language and translation-re­lated style.Meanwhile,five tendencies are detected;(1)Emphasizing on translation over interpretation;(2)Emphasizing lite­rary texts over non-literary texts;(3)Paying more attention to synchronic study rather than diachronic study;(4)Focusing more on text itself than text-related culture;(5)Laying stress on data description instead of data interpretation.Based on the above-mentioned achievements and problems,four paths for future breakthrough in the field are put forward,namely expanding our fo­cus from product-oriented approach to process-oriented one,from synchronic study to diachronic study,from monomodal-corpus-assisted approach to multimodal-corpus-assisted one,and lastly,from data generation to knowledge production.
