Abstract:

本文以选自Web of Science？核心合集数据库的111篇国际译者风格研究文献为语料，采用文献计量分析方法，借助R语言的Biblioshiny程序，对该领域的发文时间和数量、期刊、高产作者、高引文献、研究热点和研究趋势等方面进行分析。结果发现：1) 该领域的研究对象以文学译本为主；2) 研究方法以借助语料库工具为主，传统定性分析、科学计量分析方法为辅；3) 研究内容以文本内的词汇、句法、语篇等因素和文本外的译者心理、生活背景、社会环境等因素为主。总体来说，译者风格的研究内容和研究方法缺少明确的定义和规定，研究对象过于单一化，所以译者风格需要得到更为准确的内涵定义和更为全面的研究发展。
This article aims to investigate the state-of-the-art of translator’s style research at abroad. By employing the 111 articles sourced from the core collection database of Web of Science and aided by Biblioshiny, a visualized bibliometric analysis of aboard studies on translator’s style was conducted from aspects, like annual scientific production, source dynamics, key researchers, most cited documents, research focus and research frontiers. The results are as follows: 1) Translator’s style studies are mainly based on literary translations, supplemented by court interpreting records, recipes, and leaders’ speeches; 2) Translator’s style studies are mainly conducted based on the method of corpus, supplemented by quantitative and qualitative analysis; 3) These studies are described from various angles and on various linguistic levels, but these descriptions center on lexical, syntactical, discourse levels and the like, in the texts and the translators’ psychological activities, life background, social environment and choice of translation strategies. In general, the research parameters and research methods of the translator’s style lack clear definitions and regulations, and the research objects are too singular. Therefore, this study suggests that the definition of translator’s style needs to be more accurate and the future studies on translator’s style could be more comprehensive.
