Abstract:

Pragmatics and translation studies experienced enduring development from 1988 to 2020. These two disciplines interact and intertwine with each other, and have become stronger by supporting and supplementing each other over time. Based on the core periodicals of CNKI, this study used Microsoft Excel and CiteSpace visualization software to present a review of translation studies over the past thirty years (1988 to 2020) from the perspective of pragmatics. The review involved aspects such as the annual publication volume, the research methods, the periodical publication volume, the publishing author, the research focus, and the research features. The results revealed that, after a long period of development, pragmatics-based translation studies have entered a period of stable development with a decreasing number of works being published. In addition, the published research focused on the theoretical constructions and theoretical applications of relevance theory. Moreover, the features of translation studies based on pragmatics are tremendous progress in interpreting studies, in-depth developments in translation strategy studies, and the broad research scope of translation studies. However, while pragmatics-based translation studies mainly involve humanistic research, empirical research only accounts for a small portion. This paper aims to provide references for future pragmatics-based translation studies by providing a review of the previous research.

摘要：

本文以中国知网（CNKI）的核心期刊为数据来源，运用Microsoft Excel和可视化软件CiteSpace，从年度发文量、研究方法、期刊刊载量、发文作者、研究热点和研究特点六大方面对1988—2020年语用学视角下的翻译研究进行了梳理和回顾。研究发现：①经过长期发展，语用翻译研究目前已进入稳定发展期，增幅削减；②研究热点集中在关联理论的理论建构及理论应用上；③语用学视角下的翻译研究呈现口译研究成果突出、翻译策略研究不断深化、翻译研究范围广泛的特点；④语用翻译研究以人文主义研究为主，实证研究比较薄弱。本文的回顾与梳理旨在为今后的语用翻译研究提供参考和借鉴。
