On Chinese Parody Translation

Chinese parody,as a traditional figure of speech,has captured more and more attention from scholars.The researches conducted up to date are inadequate in theorizing and exploring its translation.This paper,based on the comparative data analysis of Chinese parody translation examples in different types of texts,attempts to probe into the means about how to achieve the closest function equivalence in rendering Chinese parody under the guidance of Sociosemiotic Approach.It is found that the nature of Chinese parody translation is to achieve the closest natural equivalence or similarity in expressive function,informative function,vocative function and aesthetic function in its equivalents in English.And it is suggested that borrowing,imitating,paraphrasing and adapting are effective strategies in translating Chinese parody.

Imitation for Creation＇s Sake：Parody as a Technique in Learning Advanced English

This paper describes parody as an effective teaching and learning practice in Advanced English course offered to English major juniors and seniors. The objective of this course is to help heighten students towards a more advanced level of English proficiency, and its main preoccupation is doing intensive analyses of carefully selected texts which amount to well-established classics and are characterized with linguistic complexity. To enhance students＇ learning, we embed in the course a practice of parody, which here refers to the creation of an imitative work of an original written work, usually with an attendant comic effect. Upon the completion of each module, students are assigned the task of parodying part of the text, which involves recasting its overall content while retaining formal framework, thus offering students a means of re-paying homage to the excellence of the text. Writing a parody demands great artistry in shaping a creatively simulative work, in fitting exotic content into a local form, and in transplanting new experiential logic into old textual order. The parodies are then peer-reviewed as well as instructor-reviewed. Close observation and survey show that the students have displayed heightened motivation in engaging themselves in the practice and they have benefited greatly from it. Parody proves a particularly fruitful technique in teaching and learning Advanced English, and may also be useful in teaching English writing, since it entitles students to a very unique mode of savoring and wielding the artistic power of the English language.

On the Motivation and Reasons of Popularity of Parody in Network Language From the Perspective of Conceptual Integration Theory

The Conceptual Integration Theory was first formally put forward in 1997 by Fauconnier and Turner. According to it, there is a conceptual blending network comprised of four mental spaces： Input space Ⅰ, Input space Ⅱ, generic space, and blended space. In the process of blending, common information or structures from input spaces are projected to the ＂generic space＂. Meanwhile, through partially cross-space mapping, those structures are selectively projected to the ＂blended space＂. By means of composition, completion, and elaboration, consequently ＂emergent structure＂ comes into being from the development of blending. This theory instantly became a fresh power in cognitive research field. With the rapid development of network technology and the popularization of the internet, network language makes tremendous progresses and spreads quickly, which reflects the social and cultural development. The uniqueness and effectiveness of network language creation, to a great extent, relies on various rhetorical devices, among which parody is frequently used and plays an important role. In recent years, studies about network language somehow concentrate a lot on the construction, word transformation, and features of network vocabulary, and cognitive analysis on the mechanism of parody in network language is rather limited and requires further exploration. This paper tends to probe into the motivation and the reasons ofparody＇s popularity in network language through some examples in light of Conceptual Integration Theory in hope of a better comprehension, appreciation, and application of parody in network language

A Study of Parody in The Adventures of Augie March

The Adventures of Augie March （2006） has been approached from various perspectives by critics since its publication. It has been studied from the point of view of culture, religion, history, modernism, postmodemism, and various schools of literary theories, while the use of parody in this novel was comparatively ignored. Through close reading of the novel, the present study finds that in one of his important novels, The Adventures of Augie March, by the use of parody of Augie＇s opposition to various influences with Jacob＇s fight with God, Saul Bellow successfully presents Augie as an image sticking stubbornly to ＂truth, love, peace, bounty, usefulness, harmony＂ and saying perpetually ＂no＂ to persuaders of all kinds of immoral influences, thus providing a more comprehensive reading of the novel.

An Analysis of the Cognitive Constraints of Parody in the Context of Network Media

The language used in the context of network media features variation, flexibility, and comprehensiveness, in which parody is one of the most employed devices. Modern cognitive science prefers to take parody as a cognitive act rather than a sheer linguistic modification act, which has provided a new prospective for further research about parody in the context of network media. This paper aims to probe into the cognitive constraints in the mechanism of parody in the context of network media, in hope to make a detailed explanation of the cognitive process of it and to strengthen the comprehension and appreciation of it.

Media Activism in Search of Truth： Questioning the Mission to Restore Sanity

For a young, media savvy, radically globalized generation, television as a platform for news has lost momentum. Ironically, however, in a media landscape with a variety of news providers competing for audiences and trust, television news parodies like The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and The Colbert Report attract new audiences as they seem to fill a gap. They succeed not only in entertaining and informing （even educating） a previously ＂deactivated＂, relatively young target audience, but also in initiating activism by using old and new （social） media. How can it be that a comedy show succeeds in promoting reason and gets young people to stand up for more sanity in politics and culture？ In the sense that, in this case, critical （subversive） practice comes fxom within the mainstream, is television, as the platform that has been criticized for ＂dumbing down＂ audiences （cf. Postman 1985）, actually becoming the solution for commitment7 In this constellation, what is the role of self-determined （intrinsic） and acquired （extrinsic） practices in relation to mobilized practices and practices determined by other factors？ And how do they work differently in comparison to the subversive practices of tactical media and media activism that question the methods of biopower？ This paper examines several responses to the （more and less serious） calls for action of the two shows and discusses their delicate role as entertainers, watchdogs, and activists for reason, sanity, and what is left of truth in the media. Furthermore, implications for critical media studies are considered by questioning the claims of education towards truth （of. Mitterer, 1983）.

Stephen King or the Literature of Non-exhaustion

This paper focuses on Stephen King＇s （1947-） long-form narratives and attempts at perceiving the elements accounting for his endless success. As the author chooses this title for her paper, she clearly keep in mind John Barth＇s （1930-） essay. The choice of ＂punning＂ Barth＇s title is made so as to situate ourselves in the wake of postmodernist studies to try and analyze King＇s deconstruction and reconstruction of common ideas, myths, and the Gothic genre, applying them to the contemporary era. The choice of this angle of study is accounted by the fact that the aim is to prove that King has not literarily exhausted himself in spite of his 37 years of writing and is in a constant quest for a renewal of the Gothic genre. The notion of remolding is one of the red threads allowing to weave the intricate cloth of postmodernism. The author will here humbly try to unveil the essential elements perceived in King＇s narratives which allow to qualify him as ＂a postmodern writer＂.
