中医汉英词典的批评语言学研究范式与路径

Research Paradigm and Approach of C-E Dictionary of Chinese Medicine in Terms of Critical Linguistics

传统中医汉英词典研究受语言工具论影响,注重语言形式和翻译文本的对等描写,但却弱化了社会政治、历史文化及认知倾向等因素在词典编纂过程中的作用,因而无法全面阐述中医英译的语言历史演变及特点。批评语言学关注语言在建构社会权力中的作用,强调语言、权力和意识形态之间的互动关系,为中医汉英词典学开辟了宏观历时的研究视角,其研究路径则围绕中医英译话语的历史演变与关联、语言政策与权力以及语言与文化关系三个方面。中医汉英词典的批评语言学研究路径,梳理词典谱系,追根溯源,揭示词典发展历史轨迹的同时也为后续词典的修订完善提供了坚实的理论基础和依据。
