内容简介

　　《翻译的修辞符号视角研究》在构建修辞符号学理论的基础上，在现有的翻译理论框架下探讨修辞符号学视角的翻译研究，《翻译的修辞符号视角研究》旨在解决翻译的符号意义问题，演示修辞符号学如何为符合的翻译建立逻辑范式，由此阐释两种语言系统和文化之间符号翻译中的意义缺失。

翻译是把一种语言承载的信息用另一种语言表达出来。现代语言学为翻译和翻译活动提供了比较科学的理论基础。目前大量的翻译研究都将翻译纳入语言学的范畴内，聚焦于语音学、形态学和句法学的层面。基于此，本书构建了翻译的修辞符号学视角研究，以打破翻译研究的这一局限性，并论证了其作为一个崭新的突破性的方法在解释长期以来关于翻译等效、直译与意译、归化与异化的争论中的优越性，阐明了修辞符号意义在翻译中的传递。

　　Undeniably, linguistic difference is the first barrier to be overcome so that communication may take place. However, some other kind of background knowledge must be shared by communicants in order for the message to be fully understood. It is at this point that rhetorical semiotics comes into play. The study of rhetoric is a study of the effect of linguistic communication. It concerns such factors as communicator (including the addresser and addressee of the linguistic message), the signifier and signified, linguistic context and so on, some of which belong to pragmatic domain. Therefore, pragmatics is a major part of semiotics. Rhetorical studies in the past somehow laid emphasis on the studies of technical skills of language use, and helped in enabling language users with concrete methods and techniques of linguistic expressions to improve communication effects. However, it lacks to some extent philosophical theoretic depth resulting in the difficulty in drawing inherent laws for rhetoric. Since C. S. Peirce and De Saussure laid foundations for modern semiotics, after continuous deepening and systemizing, semiotics has become a basic theory for social communication. The applications of semiotic principles and methods to various subjects and fields of social sciences, such as logic, linguistics, arts and natural sciences, are bringing them to a new philosophical height and enlightening understanding of their nature and governing laws. Semiotics has opened a new way to the in-depth studies of these subjects, thus gaining an important methodological meaning. Therefore, to apply semiotic principles and methods to rhetorical analysis and studies can provide a new revolutionary perspective for rhetorical studies.
　　Last but not least, rhetoric, in its essence, is the encoding of linguistic signs. But rhetoric is not confined to the study of general theories of linguistic sign encoding in the abstract sense, but sees from the perspective of concrete transmitting of linguistic messages. In this regard, semiotic study of rhetoric belongs to the domain of pragmatics. We maintain that losses of meaning in translation are sometimes better accounted for using the framework of rhetorical semiotics. Unlike linguistic models of translation, which overlook the cultural aspects, the rhetorical-semiotic perspective, with its guidelines of conventions, logic, appropriateness and pragmatic purposes, can clearly state the interrelation between our innate linguistic competence, using that competence, and connecting it to our culture.
　　All the above mentioned viewpoints and facts lay solid grounds for this study. The present study is mainly concerned with approaching translation studies from rhetorical-semiotic perspective based on the construction of a new theory of rhetorical semiotics and under the framewor 翻译的修辞符号视角研究 [TOWARD A RHETORICAL-SEMIOTIC THEORY OF TRANSLATION] 电子书 下载 mobi epub pdf txt
