一、選題的意義及相關(guān)研究文獻綜述(選題背景)
1) Rationale and Significance of the Proposed Study
The word euphemism comes from the Greek. Prefix eu means good and well, while the root phemespeak or say, and the suffix ism the action or the result of the action. Thus literally the word euphemism means good speech or to speak with good words or in a pleasant manner. Every country, every society or even each speech variety possesses its own euphemisms. As a culture-loaded phrase and expression, euphemism is frequently used in daily communications. We hear and employ euphemisms in our daily communications. With the development of society and the progress of the human beings, international and intercultural communication and cooperation is becoming more and more intensive and frequent. However, the translation of euphemisms often challenges a translator’s wits. Sometimes the word meaning from bilingual dictionaries can hardly convey the writer’s implication and inspiration. Euphemisms should be translated in a appropriate and accurate way. For this reason, the thesis aims to study the euphemism translation from a new perspective—Skopostheorie, which will provide a much more extensive horizon for and give more enlightenment on euphemism translation.
2) Literature Review (Background)
As a common language phenomenon, euphemism has long been an interesting topic, which has attracted both home and abroad scholar’s attention and concern. They have conducted a lots of studies related to euphemism translation from different perspectives. Liu “(Liu Hongwei, 2009)” studied the feasibility of the application of functional equivalence theory to the translation between English and Chinese euphemism and probed its translation techniques. While Wang “(Wang Chunna, 2008)” analyzed the translation of euphemism from the angle of culture and pointed out the importance of the factor of culture in euphemism translation. Zhang “(Zhang Luodan, 2004)” adopted a pragmatic approach to account for the practice, features and functions of English euphemisms in language communication. They have contributed a great deal to this research area. But there are still some space for the study of euphemism translation between English and Chinese. Skopostheorie, a new perspective, will provide a much more extensive horizon for and give some enlightenment on euphemism translation.
二、研究的主要內(nèi)容(研究問題)、預(yù)期目標(工作假設(shè))以及可能遇到的困難
1) Research Questions
Whether the euphemism translation has specific strategy
How to employ Hans Vermeer’s Skopostheorie to conduct euphemism translation
2) Aims and Objectives
Attempt to explain and solve the following aspects:
Euphemism translation has specific strategy
Hans Vermeer’s Skopostheorie can be applied to conduct euphemism translation
3) Potential Difficulties
During the process of analysis, some foreign language materials may be difficult to collect or materials are incomplete. It is hard to provide concrete examples in order to bridge theory and practice.
三、擬采用的理論框架及/或研究方法、步驟
1) Theoretical Framework
Skopostheorie is the fundamental theory of functionalist translation. Functionalist translation includes macro functionalist translation centered on German functionalist translation, and micro functionalist translation based on Halliday’s systematic functional grammar. This thesis will talk about euphemism translation from the perspective of the micro functionalist translation. The functionalist translation theory came into being in 1970s in Germany, and there have been three distinguished contributors to the formation of this theory: Katharine Reiss, Hans J. Vermeer and Christiane Nord (Bian, qtd. in HAN, 2011: 17). Hans J. Vermeer, the student of Reiss, gives up the source-text centered linguistic translation theory altogether and develops his theory of translation as an intentional action guided by its purpose. He makes a breakthrough by putting forward his famous Skopostheorie in 1978, which is regarded as the landmark of functional translation. Skopos is a Greek word for “purpose”, and Skopostheorie means the theory of purposeful action. Skopostheorie includes three principal rules, the skopos rule, the coherence rule (intratextual coherence) and fidelity rule (intertextual coherence).
2) Methodology and Data Collection
Literature Research Method
Literature research method means finding related periodical literature and books by means of database. Through this method, the history and current situation of euphemism translation can be understood and help the author have comprehensive perspective to solve the problems related to euphemism translation.
Qualitative Method
Qualitative method means employing induction and deduction, analysis and synthesis, abstract and generalization to integrate the date that have been collected. Thus, the dross can be rejected and the fine essence can be assimilated and help the author recognize the nature of euphemism and reveal the inherent law of euphemism translation.
Descriptive Method
Descriptive method means describing and explaining the Skopostheorie through the author’s understandings. Thus the author can effectively combine with theoretical analysis to conduct the study on euphemism translation.
3) Steps
literature screening→ literature reading→ literature arrangement→ analyze and determine the relation between literature and selected topic→ initially determine the basic framework→ thesis writing
