Translator Behavior/Act from the Perspective of Cognitive Translatology

doi:10.12002/j.bisu.532

Abstract

Abstract:

How can translator behavior/act be well defined? Can we develop an operable analytical framework of translator behavior/act, based on a certain theory or paradigm, to produce new knowledge through systematic research? This study provides a preliminary reflection on these questions from the perspective of Cognitive Translatology. Speciﬁcally, it explores the levels and embodied attributes of translator behavior/act to further clarify the goals, dimensions, problems, analytical categories and methods of cognitive research on translator behavior/act, and to identify the aspects that distinguish the embodied cognitive approach from previous studies.

Keywords: translator behavior/act; embodiment; cognitive translatology; operability

摘要：

如何界定译者行为?能否基于某一理论或范式，形成具有可操作性的分析框架，通过系统性研究生成新知?本文尝试从认知翻译学的视角对这些问题作初步的思考，具体探讨译者行为概念的层次、具身属性和分析范畴，阐释译者行为认知研究区别于传统研究的特征和维度，进一步明确译者行为认知研究的目标、维度、问题和方法。
