1、精选优质文档-倾情为你奉上Intercultural communication and translationIntercultural communication mainly refers to the communication between the native speakers and non-native speakers, as well as the communication between people who differ in any aspect of language or culture background. Due to the differences i

Intercultural communication studies situations when people from different culture backgrounds interact. Aside from languag

IC also involves understanding the different cultures, languages and customs of people from other countries. There are three formats of IC: interracial communication (when source and receiver are dif

The process of translating between two different written languages involves the translator changing an original wr

This type corresponds to “interlingual translation” and is one of the three Roman Jakobson in his seminal paper. Jakobsons ca
7、tegories are: 1. Intralingual translation, or “rewording” an interpretation of verbal signs by means of other signs of the same language; 2. Interlingual translation, or “translation proper” an interpretation of verbal signs by means of some other language; 3. Intersemiotic translation, or “transmut
8、ation” an interpretation of verbal signs by means of signs of non-verbal sign systems. Intralingual translation would occur when we rephrase an expression or text in the same language to explain or clarify something we might have said or written. Intersemiotic translation would occur if a written te

It is easily seen that the three forms of intercultural communication and the three types of translation are partly co

To conduct effective intercultural communication,
11、 one has to understand the differences between the different nations and then to look for them and pay attention to in every cross-cultural communication situation. By doing this, the high-context communicators can learn to use and respond words, emotions, postures differently, and low-context commu
12、nicators can learn to pay attention to context and learn to interpret meaning in terms of the context. It is evident that different countries or nations have quite different customs, cultures, ways to express emotions and so on, to become successful communicator and avoid serious culture shock and f

The culture of sourc

Translation as a tool of communication is thus a significant intercultural activity aiming at breaking the langu

Translation texts are the product of the mutual influence of source language culture and target language culture. The properties, e

Thus culture as a dispensable capability of a translator, of conducting effective translation makes translation resemble

To stride across the cultural barriers of different nations, its necessary to adjust the attitude of intercultur

Knowing better the relationship between intercultural communication and translation is of great importance to these two practices.专心-专注-专业
