Abstract
This paper makes a comparison between Pride and Prejudice written by famous British writer Jane Austen and its Chinese version translated by Sun Zhili. Based on Halliday&Hasan’s cohesion theory, this paper probes into different forms of cohesion and coherence devices in E-C translation by means of qualitative analysis, and explains the root cause of the difference: English is organized by hypotaxis while Chinese parataxis.
The first part of this paper mainly introduces the study background, selected corpus, meaning and method of study. The second part explains the origin, definition, relationship of cohesion and coherence theory and how the theory is applied into translation. In the third part, a number of corpuses in Pride and Prejudice and their translation are chosen for the comparison of similarities and differences in cohesion and coherence devices. At last, the paper draws the conclusion that the primary difference in cohesion between Chinese and English is Chinese hypotaxis and English parataxis. Dealing with cohesive devices properly helps us construct coherent texts.
Key words: cohesion devices; coherence; E-C translation
1. Introduction
1.1 Background of Study
In recent years, text linguistics is developing in a rapid speed. It is applied to translation study. Consequently, we come into exploring and researching in the text level. Some of the translators believe that translation is dynamic communication proceeding in various languages, and discourse, as the basic form of communication, is also the basic unit of translation. Therefore, translators must translate in accord with discourse features of target language on the basis of understanding the original text correctly.
Discourse, as a kind of communication form, must contain seven criterions: cohesion, coherence, intentionality, acceptability, situationality, informativity and intertextuality. All of above must be up to standard, otherwise the discourse communication will be influenced. Among those criterions, cohesion and coherence are the most significant ones and two important means in forming a discourse.
