1 introduction
the intention of this study is to explore poible advantages of descriptive translation studies as in its application in translation practice and translation analysis.
since early 20th century, translation studies gradually broke away from the marginal status within other related disciplines and established itself as an empirical science.from then on, schools of thought have kept coming out and each claims its legitimacy for existence.among these schools is descriptive translation studies (dts).
dts approaches translation from an empirical perspective.translation is viewed to be a social activity having significant importance in the receiving culture and for the target community.therefore, translation is dealt with beyond the linguistic realization and language comparison, and is incorporated in social and cultural context.
my attention was first directed to dts by its peculiar characteristic of observation, description and explanation.the subject is whatever happens in translation practice, from the determination of prospective function of translation to the proce of translator’s choice of strategies, brainstorming and the revision, to the final product making appearance in the target community.
the method of dts is basically descriptive.the prescriptive tendency and the problem-solution pattern is abandoned.translation phenomena are noted down.with accumulated data, some underlying truths about translation will come out which will prove to be instructive not only for theoretical probe but also for applied translation practice.i will apply this descriptive method in the case study of this thesis.
a convenient tool has been set up to conduct dts.“norm” is operative at every stage of description and explanation.function, proce and product and their relationship as well are skeletal structure of what constitute descriptive studies.translation phenomena are accounted for with the help of norm.
the case taken in this thesis is the chinese claic the dream of red mansions.two english versions translated respectively by yang hsien-yi and david hawks are compared and observati ons are made in regard to their translation approaches.
in this regard, my observations are limited to several aspects, i hope in-depth observation and explanation will done in light of dts.
2 outline
2.1 development and major concepts of dts
in this part i will describe holms’ basic map of dts and the relationship between function, proce and product.i will also discu some important concepts such as pseudo-translation, multiple translation, translationese, norm etc.
2.2 methodolgy
i will in this part discu the methodology of dts before i apply the same to the case study in this thesis with emphasis to be placed on semiotic approach and the concept norm.
