This edited thematic collection showcases the latest advancements in discourse analysis within the realm of translation and interpreting studies. It delves into the intricate process of how cultural and ideological interventions are carried out during translation and interpreting, employing a diverse range of discourse analysis and systemic functional linguistic methodologies. Drawing upon empirical data from the Chinese context, the book is structured into four main sections:
I. Uncovering Positioning and Ideology in Interpreting and Translation: This section explores the ways in which interpreters and translators establish their positions and convey ideologies in their performances. It examines the strategies used to position oneself as an expert or authority, as well as the ways in which ideologies are embedded in language and interpreted through translation.
II. Linking Linguistic Approach with Socio-Cultural Interpretation: This section examines the relationship between linguistic analysis and socio-cultural interpretation. It explores how linguistic features such as register, lexicon, and grammar contribute to the construction of social identities and the interpretation of cultural meanings.
III. Discourse Analysis in News Translation: This section focuses on the analysis of news discourse, examining the ways in which news stories are constructed, interpreted, and communicated to audiences. It explores the role of language in shaping public opinion, constructing narratives, and conveying information in a rapidly changing media landscape.
IV. Analysis of Multimodal and Intersemiotic Discourse in Translation: This section explores the analysis of multimodal and intersemiotic discourse in translation. It examines the ways in which visual, auditory, and spatial elements are integrated with linguistic discourse to create meaning and convey emotions.
The diverse approaches to discourse analysis presented in this book offer a valuable contribution to the field of translation and interpreting studies. By combining discourse analysis and corpus analysis, the authors demonstrate the interconnectedness of these two domains and provide a wealth of conceptual and methodological tools for researchers and scholars alike. This book will appeal to a wide audience, including scholars and research students in translation and interpreting studies, cross-linguistic discourse analysis, and Chinese studies.
