CROSS-CULTURAL CASE STUDIES OF CHINESE AND ENGLISH COGNITIVE CONVERSION by CHEN ZHONG Pdf

The Chinese language contains cognitive stereotypes that are different from those of English. Such linguistic differences between Chinese and English require cognitive conversion in cross-cultural communication. Inapplying cognitive linguistic theories to examining cross-cultural communication cases, this book explores cognitive stereotypes in English and Chinese as well as the processes of converting them from one language to the other. It focuses on the principles by which a language selects its cognitive perspective based on its cultural traditions, perception, and representation of the world. In analyzing the linguistic rules and culturally driven cognitive motivation through an issue-driven and case-study approach, this book can help students understand the cross-cultural cognitive motivation between English and Chinese. In so doing, it is hoped that this book can enhance the interest level and study efficacy for foreign language learning. This book can serve as a reference for instructors in syllabus designing, as well as for linguistic professional training. The book is also suitable to be used as a reference for undergraduate andpostgraduate students majoring in linguistics, translation, and teaching Chinese as foreign language to speakers of other languages. Finally, it can be a useful reference for undergraduates who learn Chinese as a foreign language.

Translating Chinese Fiction by Tan Yesheng Pdf

Drawing on the cognitive translatological paradigm, this book introduces a situation-embedded cognitive construction model of translation and explores the thinking portfolios of British and American sinologists-cum-translators to re-examine their multiple voices and cognition in translating Chinese fiction. By placing sinologists-cum-translators in the same discourse space, the study transcends the limitations of previous case studies and offers a comprehensive cognitive panorama of how Chinese novels are rendered. The author explores the challenges and difficulties of translating Chinese fiction from the insider perspectives of British and American sinologists, and cross-validates their multiple voices by aligning them with cross-cultural communication scenarios. Based on the cognitive construction model of translation, the book provides a systematic review of the translation thoughts and ideas of the community of sinologists in terms of linguistic conventions, narrative styles, contextual and cultural frames, readership categories and metaphorical models of translation. It envisions a new research path to enhance empirical research on translators' cognition in a dynamic translation ecosystem. The title will be an essential read for students and scholars of translation studies and Chinese studies. It will also appeal to translators and researchers interested in cognitive stylistics, literary studies and intercultural communication studies.

Pragmatics and Translation by Miriam A. Locher,Daria Dayter,Thomas C. Messerli Pdf

This volume presents innovative research on the interface between pragmatics and translation. Taking a broad understanding of translation, papers are presented in four different parts. Part I focuses on interpreting; Part II centers on the translation of fictional and non-fictional texts and spaces; Part III discusses audiovisual translation; and Part IV explores translation in a wider context that includes transforming senses and action into language. The issues that transpire as worth exploring in these areas are mediality and multi-modality, interpersonal pragmatics, close and approximate renditions, interpretese and translationese, participation structures and the negotiation of discourses and power.

Translation and Tourism by M. Zain Sulaiman,Rita Wilson Pdf

This book addresses one of the most central, yet criticised, solutions for international tourism promotion, namely translation. It brings together theory and practice, explores the various challenges involved in translating tourism promotional materials (TPMs), and puts forward a sustainable solution capable of achieving maximum impact in the industry and society. The solution, in the form of a Cultural-Conceptual Translation (CCT) model, identifies effective translation strategies and offers a platform for making TPM translation more streamlined, efficient and easily communicated. Using the English-Malay language combination as a case study, the book analyses tourism discourse and includes a road test of the CCT model on actual end-users of TPMs as well as tourism marketers in the industry. Guidelines for best practices in the industry round out the book, which offers valuable insights not only for researchers but also, and more importantly, various stakeholders in the translation, tourism and advertising industries.
