Journal Title: Scholars International Journal of Linguistics and Literature - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Abstract:Guided by theories of systemic functional linguistics and pragmatics, this paper is focused on approaching translation from the perspective of text analysis. It aims at analyzing, interpreting and ironing out some issues conceding textual translation by means of transplanting linguistic theories and trying to provide a text-oriented perspective in translation studies. The paper consists of four chapters. The first chapter presents a brief introduction to text analysis at home and abroad. Starting from the unit of translation, the second chapter deals with the necessity of text analysis in translation and makes a brief difference between discourse and text. The third chapter discusses the role of intentionality in translation and gives some examples. The fourth chapter is a retrospect and prospect, which tells the strong points and limitations of the paper, its developing tendency and further research in the future. Keywords: Translation, Text analysis, Linguistics, Pragmatics, Intentionality
