认知识解视角下的异语创作无本回译研究——以Moment in Peking为例

Textless back-translation of non-native language writing from the perspective of cognitive construal:A case study of Moment in Peking

基于认知识解理论,研究异语创作无本回译过程中译者对文化概念的互动体验、认知识解和概念复现过程。研究发现,受辖域、背景、视角、凸显、详略度等识解因素的影响,不同译者对同一语言表达式认知风格有所不同;虽然译文在风格、语言结构、概念框架方面都有差异,但最大程度复现原文本的中国文化概念和意义是中国题材异语创作无本回译的共性追求。

Based on the theory of cognitive construal,this paper studies the translator’s interactive experience of cultural concepts,cognitive construal and concept representation in the process of textless back-translation of non-native language writing.It is found that under the influence of such construal factors as scope,background,perspective,prominence,specificity,etc.,different translators may develop different cognition styles.Though differences exist in linguistic style,language structure and conceptual framework of the translations,to achieve faithfulness and represent Chinese cultural concepts to the greatest extent is the common endeavor of textless back-translation of Chinese-themed non-native language writing.
