基于语料库的中日对应词语义韵对比研究——以中央文献日译「堅持(する)」为例

A Corpus-based Contrastive Study of the Semantic Prosodies of Chinese and Japanese Words:A Case Study of the High-frequency Word'Persist'(Kenji)in the Japanese Translation of CPC Literature

中央文献日译研究近年来成为中日翻译研究热点问题之一。亟待建立新的方法论体系,以通过系统、深入分析语言转换特征,应对其中的跨文化及相关问题。语料库语言学“扩展意义单位模型”为此提供了新的分析路径。本文基于汉语、日语通用语料库,以扩展意义单位模型为分析框架,分析对比动词“坚持”及其日语对应词「堅持(する)」在中日语料库中形成的多词序列语义韵的异同。数据显示,两词分别在各语料库中与搭配词形成不同的共选型式,指向不同的语义韵。这表明中日短语的使用具有各自的形式、意义特征。研究可为中央文献日译研究提供方法论参照。

The study of Japanese translation for CPC'Literature has been hotly pursued in recent years.It is urgent to establish a new methodology to systematically and thoroughly analyze language using features in Chinese and Japanese to cope with the cross-culture difficulties in the Japanese translation of CPC Literature.The Extended Unit of Meaning Model in corpus linguis tics provides a new approach to this problem.This study uses this model as the anal>lical framework to observe and compare the similarities and differences of the semantic prosodies in ihc phraseological sequences centered on the verb'persist'and its Japanese counterpart kenji across the general corpora of Chinese and Japanese.The data shows that the two words form differ ent co-selection patterns with collocation words in each corpus,pointing to diflerent semantic prosodies.It is indicated that the phraseological uses of language in Chinese and Japanese have dislinctivc form-meaning features.The study can provide meth odological references for the study of translation equivalents in the Japanese translation of CFC Literature.
