论文学文体学与叙述学在小说翻译研究中的应用 ——以《一九八四》的中译本作个案研究

论文摘要

文学文体学将语言学的理论、方法和分析模式应用于研究文学文本中语言形式、主题意义和美学价值之间的相互关系。文学文体学应用于小说翻译研究时能够作为一种有力的工具来分析翻译过程中“假象等值”产生的原因以及“风格对等”实现的关键。叙述学将结构主义和形式主义的理论应用于探讨某一特定语境下叙事形式和叙事效果之间的关系。叙述学应用于小说翻译研究时能够帮助研究者考察源语文本中的叙事形式能否在译语文本中得到准确的重现以及叙事效果在翻译过程中能否实现对等。本文旨在通过结合这两个学科的理论和方法论尝试对乔治·奥威尔所著的小说《一九八四》的三个中译本作研究。该研究将首先考察源语文本的文体特点和叙事形式,然后继续考察这些特点和形式能否在译语文本中成功再现。作者将通过应用一个试验性的理论框架来解释以下三个问题:1)文体特点/叙事形式和文学意义/叙事效果之间的相互关系是如何构建的;2)“假象等值”产生的原因以及在何种程度上能够避免产生;3)在翻译过程中,源语文本中的“文学性”怎样得以保存以及风格对等将如何实现。最后,本研究将对论文开始所提出的问题作出回答。
