国内功能对等理论研究状况的可视化分析

A Visualization Analysis of Domestic Studies on the Functional Equivalence Theory

为客观、全面地认识奈达功能对等理论在中国的发展状况,以CNKI数据库中1987-2019年间国内有关奈达功能对等理论研究的1651篇期刊论文为数据源,运用CiteSpace软件绘制出这些数据的可视化图谱,并对绘制出的图谱进行分析。分析得出以下结论:一是最近几年国内有关功能对等理论研究的年发文量呈下降趋势;二是相关研究者之间、研究机构之间未形成合作网络;三是研究内容集中在对该理论本身的研究,以及对该理论应用于翻译实践的研究(主要是字幕翻译、广告翻译、商务英语翻译和公示语翻译);四是商务英语翻译和文学翻译是当下的研究热点和研究前沿。

In order to objectively and comprehensively understand the development status of Nida’s functional equivalence theory in China,this research selected 1651 domestic journal papers that are related to the theory and were published from 1987 to 2019 in CNKI database,and used CiteSpace to map knowledge domains for the datum.Through the analysis of the knowledge domains,conclusions have been drawn as follows:First,the annual publication volume of domestic papers on the functional equivalence theory has shown a downward trend.Second,there is no cooperative network among the researchers and the research institutions.Third,the domestic studies mainly focus on the functional equivalence theory itself and its application to translation practice,mostly to subtitle translation,advertising translation,Business English translation and the translation of public signs.Fourth,at present Business English translation and literary translation are the two research hotspots and frontiers.
