语言、认知与交际——交际术语学视阈下的术语翻译探究

术语词汇作为语言单元,既具有普通词汇的语言特征,亦具有专业领域词汇的单义性、系统性、专业性、简洁性等特点。术语的这些特点也决定了其翻译研究与实践在很大程度上不能完全等同于普通词汇,而应适当结合术语学的相关理论。本文尝试从交际术语学提出的术语学与翻译学相交叉的三个维度——语言、认知和交际维度为术语词汇的翻译提供术语学的视角。

Terms,as linguistic units,bear both the characteristics of language for general purposes,and those of specialized fields,such as monosemous,systematic,specialized,concise,and so forth.These features of terms entail that the study and practice of terminology,to a great extent,should not be the same as those of the vocabulary for general purposes,and the theories of terminology should accordingly be taken into account instead.This paper,based on Communicative Theory of Terminology's proposal on the three interdisciplinary dimensions between terminology and translatology,i.e.,language,cognition,and communication,attempts to offer some new insights into terminology translation.
