The Pragmatic Functions of the Chinese Sequential Marker “Jiezhe” and Its English Translation Application

摘要: “接着”是一个表示时间、序列的时序标记，本文通过实例分析了时序标记“接着”在话语中的语用功能。经考察，“接着”具有填补语流空白、提请注意和弱化冲突的人际功能，在语篇上，“接着”具有提示新信息、询问信息的信息功能，开启、转换、延续、拉回话题的话题导向功能，移交、占据、接续、转接话轮的话轮构建功能，且“接着”后可接续不同的言语行为，在不同类型的言语行为之间建立连贯性。另外，时序标记“接着”的英译应坚持功能对等导向的原则，突破词汇层面的简单直译，转向语用功能的等值实现。通过本研究，希望对时序标记“接着”的语用功能有更全面的认识，为时序标记的翻译提供借鉴作用。

Abstract: “Jiezhe” is a sequential marker that represents time and sequence. This article analyzes the pragmatic functions of the sequential marker “Jiezhe” in discourse through examples. After investigation, “Jiezhe” has interpersonal functions of filling in language flow gaps, drawing attention, and weakening conflicts. In discourse, “Jiezhe” has information functions of prompting new information, asking for information, topic guidance functions of opening, transforming, continuing, and pulling back topics, and turn building functions of transferring, occupying, continuing, and transferring turns. After “Jiezhe”, it can continue different speech acts and establish coherence between different types of speech acts. In addition, the English translation of the sequential marker “Jiezhe” should adhere to the principle of functional equivalence, break through the simple literal translation at the lexical level, and shift towards the equivalent implementation of pragmatic functions. Through this study, we hope to have a more comprehensive understanding of the pragmatic functions of sequential markers “Jiezhe” and provide reference for the translation of sequential markers.
