意象图式理论下唐诗英译的认知文体学分析

Cognitive Stylistic Analysis of English Translation of Tang Poetry under the Framework of Image Schema

摘要: 认知文体学是将认知语言学的一些工具，如图形–背景、意象图式、概念隐喻等应用于文学分析，其中意象图式可用来解释不同社会群体所拥有的不同的认知结构和价值观。本文以许渊冲和宇文所安的唐诗英译本为研究对象，利用认知文体学中的意象图式理论为指导，选取其中的容器图式、路径图式及上–下图式对两种不同的唐诗英译本进行认知文体分析，挖掘两种译本的异同之处及其背后的认知原因，研究发现意象图式理论对翻译研究具有强大的指导力和解释力。

Abstract: Cognitive linguistics is the application of cognitive linguistics tools such as figure-ground, image schema and conceptual metaphor to literary analysis. Image schema can be used to explain the different cognitive structures and values of different social groups. Based on image schema theory, this paper takes the English versions of Tang Poetry translated by Xu Yuanchong and Stephen Owen as research material, selecting container schema, path schema and up-down schema to investigate the similarities and differences between the two translated versions and find out the cognitive reasons behind it. It is found that image schema theory has strong guiding and explanatory power in translation studies.
