变化:语际转换到符际转换的共核

Change and Transformation:Common Core of Interlingual Transformation and Intersemiotic Shift

变译和全译是一对翻译范畴,“变”“化”分别是二者的本质属性,前者为变通,是大变化,即质变;后者为转化,是小变化,即量变。文章梳理了语际间以“变”“化”为内核的变译方法体系和全译方法体系的完善过程和运用领域,并尝试将这些语际变化规律推广及符际变化,探索多模态转换规律。研究发现,翻译方法研究从最初的语际扩展到符际,由本体向外辐射,翻译方法体系随着翻译活动的变化而不断完善,但其内核仍然是“变”“化”。

Translation variation and complete translation are a pair of translation categories.Change is the essential attribute of translation variation,featured with a big change(qualitative change)while transformation is the essential attribute of complete translation,characterized with a small change(quantitative change).This paper reviews the improvement process and application fields of translation variation and complete translation with"change"and"transformation"as their cores respectively,attempts to extend these interlingual transformation rules to intersemiotic shift,and explores the multimodal conversion laws.It is found that the research on translation methods extends from the initial interlingual to the intersemiotic translation and radiates outward from the ontology,and the translation methodology is constantly improved with the changes of translation activities,but its core is still"change"and"transformation."
