语境分析在影视作品语际字幕翻译中的应用研究

论文摘要

随着外国影视作品在外语学习和跨文化交流中的重要性的增加,人们对影视作品的语际字幕翻译的质量提出了更高的要求。本文以哈提姆和麦森的“三维语境”为理论基础,试从语境分析角度研究影视作品的语际字幕翻译,希冀能为这块新兴的研究领域尽绵薄之力。论文由导言,四个主要章节和结论六部分组成。在导言中,作者介绍了本论文的研究目的,范围,理论基础,研究方法和结构。第一章详细介绍了语际字幕翻译,并对中国现阶段影视作品语际字幕翻译的研究做了简要的文献综述。第二章提供了论文的理论框架,从交流维度,语用维度,符号维度三方面介绍了语境。在第二章的基础上,第三章详细分析了影视作品语际字幕翻译中的语境因素及其对语际字幕翻译的影响。第四章通过个案分析说明语境分析在字幕翻译实践中的应用。最后,作者在结论部分总结了论文的主要观点,指出了该论文的局限性和未来可能的研究领域。通过研究,作者认为影视作品的语际字幕翻译有丰富的语境信息,这些信息在给字幕翻译提供帮助的同时也提出了挑战。语际字幕翻译中语境因素的分析对译者在翻译过程中的决策及字幕翻译质量的提高都有很大帮助。
