A Editorial Corpus-based Analysis of China English in on Sentence Level

CHEN Jian-sheng，MENG Guang-fu

Abstract: According to the data drawn from the self-built corpus of editorials, this paper, based on functional stylistics, tries to explore the existence of China English variety from the perspective of sentence by comparing the editorials written by advanced English learners whose mother tongue is Chinese and those written by native speakers of English. The results of comparative analyses of sentence length, passive voice predicates, logical connectors in the two corpora show that there are significant differences between the editorials written by these two kinds of editors. Thus China English variety exists and the differences may be caused by English teaching models in China, Chinese grammar, socio-cultural factors, etc.

Embodiment Hypothesis and Body Metaphor: Problems with the Embodiment Hypothesis of Conceptual Metaphor Theory

XIANG Cheng-dong

Abstract: Based on body metaphors as data from ordinary language, media discourse and technical discourse, this paper, by adopting an empirical methods, attempts to argue against the embodiment hypothesis of conceptual metaphor theory, pointing out that not all the conceptual metaphors are based on bodily experiences, not all the things concerned with the body are direct experiences, and not all the experiences can be embodied. On the basis of empirical evidences and analysis, the paper argues that the problem with the embodiment hypothesis mainly originates from the misleading and confusing definitions of such concepts as embodiment and body, and suggests that such concepts should be used carefully.

A Study of Morphological Rhetoric in Literary Translation Based on Lovell’s Translation of Lu Xun’s Works

ZHAO Hai-juan

Abstract: Literary translation with aesthetic quality conveys both meaning and feeling. Morphological rhetoric is a special rhetorical behaviour with the artistic effect through the unique form and appearance of language to attract readers’ attention, and its translation effect decides the degree of textual aesthetic actualization. This paper, based on the translation of Lu Xun’s works, illustrates the applicability of morphological rhetoric in literary translation from four aspects of the form of words or characters, punctuation, diagram and symbol, and the arrangement of words or sentences. It concludes that the translator should be expert in actualization and reproduction of morphological rhetoric according to specific themes and contexts to reduce the loss of textual aesthetic value, so that aesthetic actualization process of spiritual and formal resemblance in literary translation can ultimately be achieved.

Key words: literary translation; morphological rhetoric; Lovell’s translation of Lu Xun’s works; aesthetic actualization

Metaphor Translation in Lu Xun’s Work Based on the Comparison of Yangs’, Lovell’s and Lyell’s Translations of

FU Xiao-meng，WANG Shu-huai

Abstract: Lu Xun, the greatest writer in 20th century, is famous for metaphors in his works, especially in. Among all the translations, Yangs’, Lyell’s and Lovell’s versions are the most influential. With stylistic analysis of metaphors in, this paper will compare the three translations in four aspects of graphological metaphor, lexical metaphor, syntactic metaphor and register metaphor. The paper concludes that the three translations can be classified into three categories in term of metaphoric consciousness. Yangs’ metaphor-dormant translation neglects metaphor and pays more attention on the accuracy of translation. Lovell’s metaphor-sporadic translation although notices metaphor, she pays more attention to the choice of word and aesthetics of word. However, Lyell is conscious of metaphor the most. His metaphor-volcanic translaiton reproduces the metaphors in the novel to represent thoroughly Lu Xun’s literary style and metaphorical meaning.

Key words: Lu Xun; stylistic metaphor;; version comparison

On the Translation of Reduplicative Words in Classical Chinese Poetry Based on Feibai’s Translation of Li Qingzhao’s poem

LONG Yan

Abstract: This paper illustrates the translation of reduplicative words in classical Chinese poetry based on the English translation of Li Qingzhao’s poemby Feibai from the aspects of lexis, phonetics and syntax within the framework of the cohesion and coherence of parataxis or hidden hypotaxis in super-sentential text. Reduplicative words are not only confined in literary works, but also frequently found in modern oral and written Chinese in cross-cultural communication. The proper translation strategies can introduce richer expressions into English poetry, and also help spread the culture and national softpower of China.

Key words: reduplicative words in classical Chinese poetry; Feibai; Li Qingzhao; translation strategies
