身体认知与译文的可接受性——中央文献翻译研究的新视角

Embodied Cognition and Acceptability of Translation:A New Perspective into the Translation Studies of CPC Literature

译文的可接受性是中央文献翻译研究的一个重要内容,从身体认知视角出发,阐释"共享体认"作为译文可接受性的认知基础,提出翻译的逆向体认原则,认为源语文本的生成是顺向的体认过程,而源语的解读与译文的构建却是逆向为之,译文具有可接受性的关键就是在逆向体认过程中寻找到语际间的"共享体认"。在对体认与逆向体认流程作出认知分析之后,提出三种基于身体认知的翻译路径,并结合译例分析其在翻译中的可行性,从而丰富中央文献翻译研究的理论体系及研究视角。

Acceptability of translation has been one of the foci in the translation studies of CPC literature.This paper intends to address the issues of acceptability,with a view to enriching the theoretical system of,and providing a new approach to the translation studies of CPC literature from the perspective of embodied cognition by elucidating the shared embodied cognition which can be regarded as the cognitive basis of acceptability and proposing the reversed embodied cognitive translation principle.It holds that the production of SL text is an embodied cognitive process,while the interpretation of SL text and the construction of TL text,i.e.translation,is a process of reversed embodied cognition.The key to acceptability is to identify the shared interlingual embodied cognition.Then three embodied cognition-based approaches are proposed and applied in the analysis of translation to further confirm their feasibility in translation process.
