Abstract:

A term is a concept inside a domain, and a new concept is often expressed via a new term. The paper presents some of the new terms in A Dictionary of Translation Studies in China (Revised and Enlarged Edition), which is to be published in 2023, as examples to investigate the trends in translation studies. According to the statistics, the new terms mainly arose in the following four fields: traditional Chinese translation theory, modern Chinese translation theory, western translation theory, and translation technology. The terms represent recent academic achievements in a variety of disciplines, such as linguistics, information technology, sociology, ecology, philosophy, and psychology. The interdisciplinary approach is applied extensively in translation studies at present.

Keywords: translation studies; translatological terms; interdisciplinary approach; terminological innovation; research paradigms

摘要：

术语是专业领域概念的表征，创新的概念常用创新的术语来表达。本文考察了拙编《中国译学大辞典》（增订版，待出版）新收录的术语，以此来探究近年翻译研究的走向，发现增补的术语主要来自4个方面：赓续传统、自创新论、借鉴外论和融合翻译技术；学理的进展则主要体现在跨学科研究上，与翻译学结合的学科主要包括语言学、信息技术、社会学、生态学、哲学和心理学等。跨学科的研究范式是当今翻译研究的基本范式。
