文化空缺视阈下的英汉数字内涵对比研究

A Comparative Study of the Connotations of Numbers in English and Chinese from the Perspective of Cultural Vacancy

从空缺理论的角度,分析形成文化空缺的根源,并从完全空缺、冲突空缺、部分空缺和零空缺四个方面对英汉数字的文化内涵进行比较研究。每个承载着强烈文化信息的数字在不同文化中都是独一无二的,对数字文化蕴涵的异同性的探究加深了对英汉文化的理解,有助于感知文化的多样性和差异性,消除跨文化交际中的误解,促进中西方文化交流。

From the perspective of vacancy theory,this paper analyzes the root of cultural vacancy,and compared the connotations of numbers in Chinese and English from four aspects:total vacancy,conflict vacancy,partial vacancy and zero vacancy.Each number bearing strong cultural information is unique in different cultures.The exploration of the heterogeneity contained in digital culture deep⁃ens the understanding of English and Chinese culture,helps to perceive cultural diversity and difference,eliminates misunderstanding in cross-cultural communication,and promotes cultural exchanges between China and the west.
