Translation Theory in Contemporary China: Research Directions

Wang S.

Abstract

The article analyses the current state of modern translation studies in China, categorizing its theoretical approaches into three distinct types: translation studies based on the ancient Chinese philosophical tradition; interdisciplinary translation studies; and translation studies with a practical orientation. The study reveals that although Chinese translation studies are rich in diverse doctrines, they have yet to coalesce into defined academic schools, as they have not attracted sufficient attention from the international academic community.

Standardizing Minority Languages: Conflict between Traditional and New Speakers

Guermanova N.N.

Abstract

The article focuses on the conflict between traditional speakers of minority languages and new speakers, who learned the language in its standardized form in the course of revitalization. The author reveals the social, psychological and linguistic aspects of this conflict. It is shown, with a special reference to Manx Gaelic, that both sides of the conflict take a purist stand; however, for the former it means following traditional linguistic practices, while for the latter - innovations with a view to return to historical roots.

Categories of Linguistic Translation Studies in A. D. Shweitser's Conception: to Eliminate or to Apply?

Khukhuni G.T., Valuytseva I.I.

Abstract

Being one of the most prominent representatives of the Russian linguistic translation studies, A. D. Shweitser made a great contribution both to the study of the theory and practice of translation in general and to the development of the conceptual and categorical apparatus of this discipline. Since in recent decades the very validity of the linguistic approach to translation and the use of a number of terms proposed by its supporters have been questioned, the authors of the article attempt to analyze the key terms and justify the inexpediency of their elimination.

Actual Psychological Meaning of the Value «Trust»: Experimental Study of «Culture of Trust»

Adamova Z.G.

Abstract

The article is devoted to describing the results of an experimental psycholinguistic study of the value “trust”. Based on the theory of speech activity by A. A. Leontiev and the cultural sociology of trust by P. Sztompka, the author demonstrates that different aspects of the content of the value “trust” in the process of including them in the speech activity of an individual can perform the function of an attitude. To this end, the study establishes the parameters for the analysis of speech action as socially conditioned and proposes a structural and content model of the “trust” value.

The Discovery of the Ethnocultural Specifics of Society (based on the material of the associative fields of Russians, Germans, Austrians)

Baranov Y.V.

Abstract

The analysis of associative fields of lexemes nominating values has become an effective way of studying identity in psycholinguistics. Basic values are a hierarchical, fundamentally dynamic, but synchronically stable system, and this makes it possible to consider them as part of an ethnic identity. With the help of associative fields analysis, the actual content of values is established, the dynamics of value orientations is predicted. The author compares the associative fields of social justice and security of Russians, Germans, and Austrians, emphasizing significant differences in their worldviews.

The Relevance of Personal Values in the Minds of the Chinese: Using the Example of the Value 友善 / Friendliness

Dubkova O.V.

Abstract

In the socio-political discourse of China, personal values are considered as rules of communication in interpersonal communication. The analyzed value is closely connected in the minds of native speakers with the system of traditional Chinese values and is included in the system of basic values of socialism with Chinese characteristics, which indicates its psychological relevance for the Chinese. Analysis of the associative field of the lexeme 友善 / friendliness shows that the dominant signs of association for this stimulus word are ‘carrier of quality’, ‘forms and methods of external manifestation of a friendly attitude’.

The Factors Determining the “Emergence” of Understanding of a (Polycode) Text. Part 1

Pishchalnikova V.A.

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of heterogeneous factors contributing to the emergence of “emergence” of the process of understanding a text; at the same time, “emergence” is considered a fundamental characteristic of an individual’s mental activity. The relevance of the article is determined by the need to change the methodology of analyzing speech activity, which is essentially emergent and determined by the interdependence of the physio-, neuro- and psychological aspects of human activity. The factors determining the “emergence” of speech activity are highlighted, regardless of the topic, structure, and area of communication of individuals.

On Verbal, Para- and Extraverbal Communication (perception of American English and British English by Russian subjects). Part 2

Potapova R.K., Potapov V.V.

Abstract

According to the results of a series of experiments on subjective decoding based on perceptual-auditory and perceptual-visual types of analysis of multilingual communication, basic knowledge is accumulated and implemented in visual and auditory images that complement each other. The paraverbal communication is an additional source, which, in the process of perceiving a foreign language speech, becomes the basic source of information about communicants and about the communicative situation. The results obtained confirm the presence of an evaluative statement of perceptual features correlated with ingrained intercultural characteristics.

Euphemisation and Incongruity as the Discourse Strategies in Cinematic Comedies

Serozeeva D.N.

Abstract

In the study, we explore euphemisation and incongruity as two cognitive strategies of discourse construal in cinematic comedies. Their distribution in three discourse levels and three semiotic modalities (speech, sound and dynamic image) indicates that it is mediated by each of the cognitive strategies. The analysis shows euphemisation as prevalent in speech on the levels of Sociocultural situation and Communicative situation, while incongruity is found on all three levels, predominantly in dynamic image and speech.

Wang L.

Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of the concepts “special lexicon” and “term” in Russian and Chinese linguistics in order to establish their contents, peculiarities of functioning and places in the terminological system. The relevance of the research is determined by the necessity of mutual adaptation of terminological systems in intercultural communication and translation, especially for official texts, which requires a detailed comparison of their semantic, functional and stylistic features and actualizes the problem of the legality of using the linguistic terms “special lexicon” and “term” within the texts of different linguocultures.

Phraseological Units with the Component Head in Chinese and Russian

Chen S.

Abstract

The article is devoted to linguocultural analysis of Chinese and Russian phraseological unit with the component ‘head’. In the course of the study, common and linguo-specific characteristics of the somatic component ‘head’ were identified. The similarity of the meanings of the phraseological unit under consideration in the compared linguocultures is largely explained by the fact that this somatism belongs to the lexical core of the languages, which provides semantic correlability of associations and methods of metaphorization. At the same time, the national and cultural specificity of the bases and methods of metaphorization is obvious.

The Cat as a Litmus Test: On Animal Images in the Russian Literature

Rarenko M.B.

Abstract

The images of animals found on the pages of works of art are numerous. The image of he-cat / she-cat refers to the universal images found in folklore and fiction of different linguistic cultures. In Russian linguistic culture (more broadly, in Slavic folk beliefs) this pet appears as a gender pair - a he-cat and a she-cat and is described as having both positive and negative qualities due to the stable archaic idea of the cat’s connection with both the human world and the other world, going back to antiquity.

Artistic Space and Artistic Time in V. Y. Brusov’s Novel “The Fiery Angel”

Shchukina Z.V.

Abstract

The article considers two text-forming categories of any aesthetically significant work - the categories of artistic space and artistic time. On the basis of the analysis of these categories in V. Y. Brusov’s novel “The Fiery Angel” it is concluded that the artistic space of the work acts as a spatium-opposition, representing as its “members” the real and irreal space, while the artistic time in the novel, being a complexly organized structure, includes several “times” interacting with each other in different ways.
