图式在翻译过程中的运用

本文将语言学界和外语教学界广泛运用于阅读理解研究的“图式理论”用来指导翻译研究 ,因为翻译既涉及译者的理解又涉及译文潜在读者的理解。在对源语进行解码时 ,译者应充分激活与文本相关的图式 ,同时应充实自身的知识和文化图式以保证有足够的图式可供调用。在对译语进行编码时 ,译者应做到有利于激活译语读者的已有图式 ,同时也要有利于帮助译语读者建立新的图式 ,以达到跨文化交际的目的。

图式理论在翻译中的应用

图式理论是现代认知语言学中的一个重要成果,它认为,任何语篇或文本都是引导读者根据他们的图式知识来获取或构建文本意义的。图式理论已经被广泛应用于对阅读理解的研究。然而,本文通过阐释图式理论这一认知科学中的热门话题,通过分析翻译过程的实质,探讨了图式理论是如何应用于翻译过程中的。

A simple approach for building transliteration editors for Indian languages

Transliteration editors are essential for keying-in Indian language scripts into the computer using QWERTY keyboard. Applications of transliteration editors in the context of Universal Digital Library (UDL) include entry of meta-data and diction- aries for Indian languages. In this paper we propose a simple approach for building transliteration editors for Indian languages using Unicode and by taking advantage of its rendering engine. We demonstrate the usefulness of the Unicode based approach to build transliteration editors for Indian languages, and report its advantages needing little maintenance and few entries in the mapping table, and ease of adding new features such as adding letters, to the transliteration scheme. We demonstrate the trans- literation editor for 9 Indian languages and also explain how this approach can be adapted for Arabic scripts.
