英汉拟声词对比翻译论文文献综述
Onomatopoeia is an important way of word-formation and a kind of rhetorical device. It uses the sound to reflect the sense, that is, the pronunciation of one word is the echo to the sense- the naming of a thing or action by a vocal imitation of the sound associated with it (as buzz, hiss) or the use of words whose sound suggests the sense. The creations of onomatopoeias are very simple and original. People just imitate the sounds of the animals or other things that can produce sounds. There are great numbers of onomatopoeias in each language. Onomatopoeias are important figures of speech that enrich the language. There exist the differences and similarities between English and Chinese onomatopoeias from aspects of phonetics, part of speech, syntactic function and semantics. The similarities mainly exist in partial similar phonetics, the diversities of part of speech and syntactic function, the transference of semantics and its usage. The differences mainly arise in phonetics, part of speech, semantics and syntactic function. So it’s necessary to pay attention to the same aspects and difference of onomatopoeias between Chinese and English and to make an in-depth research. At the same time, in the translation of onomatopoeia between Chinese and English, people have figured out many effective ways, however, they are very scattered. Many researches are made to explore the translation skills of onomatopoeia, which includes the transliteration and complement method.Hu Zhuanglin, in his famous book Linguistics, points out that words that sounds like the sounds they describe are called onomatopoeias, such as 叮咚，轰隆in Chinese. But in English, totally different words are used to describe the sound. For example, the dog barks bowwow in English but wang wang wang in Chinese. But there are some misunderstandings about the onomatopoeic effect. As a matter of fact, arbitrary and onomatopoeic effect may work at the same time. For example, Widdowson cites a line from Keats’Ode to a nightingale to illustrate: the murmurrous haunt of flies on summer eves. If you read it about, you may feel the connection between the sounds and the meaning. But the effect does not really result from the whispering sounds themselves, for you will have to know the meaning of the words murmurous, summer, before setting up such a connection. To test this, just think of using the similar sounding word murderous to substitute murmurous, and no connection whatsoever will be established between the sounds and the little noises of the flying flies. “It is only when you know the meaning that you infer that the form is appropriate.” This also applies to many cases of the so-called onomatopoeic words. Bloomfieild defined some onomatopoeia as secondary onomatopoeia, which refers to certain sounds and sound- sequences are associated with certain senses in an expressive relationship. In this form, the sounds evoke, not an acoustic experience, but a movement (dither, dodder, quiver, slink, slither, slouch, squirm, wriggle), or some physical or moral quality, usually unfavorable (gloom, grumpy, mawkish, slimy,sloppy, sloth, wry). Some of these onomatopoeic terms have certain elements in common; in Bloomfield’s words, there is “a system of initial and final root-forming morphemes, of vague signification”, with which the “intense, symbolic connotation”of such termsis associated. For example, the sounds /sn/ may express three types of experiences: “breath-noise”(sniff, snuff, snore, and snort), “quick separation or movement”(snip, snap, snatch), and “creeping”(snake, snail, sneak, snoop). Final group have similar functions: -are suggests “ big light or noise” as in blare, flare, glare, stare；-ump suggests “protuberance” as in bump, chump, clump, dump, hump, lump, mump” and “heavy fall” as in dump, crump, flump, plump, slump, thump. Another interesting feature of onomatopoeic patterns is that they often work by vowel alternation; by substituting one vowel for another one can express different noises.Guo Zhuzhang, in his A Practical Course in Translation between English and Chinese, points out that there are a lot of skills to translate onomatopoeia, which includes three ways. (a). Literal translation. If there are onomatopoeias in the original article, we should use onomatopoeias in the target languages when we translate them. For examples: 1)Two heavy guns went off in the woods－Brump! Brump! 两门重炮在森林里开始发射了－轰隆！轰隆！(2)Whee-ee-ee! Whee-ee-ee! The police whistles shrilled suddenly“鸣-！鸣-！”警笛突然响了。
大学英语专业毕业论文【浅谈英语拟声词的特点与翻译 】
Ⅰ. IntroductionOnomatopoetic word is a kind of vocabulary simulating sound of the nature and a component that all languages must own. It imitates noises of human beings, animals and things so as to increase languages of vividness, iconicity of the word-formation and rhetoric methods. As an indispensable figure of speech in rhetoric, onomatopoeia has a long history and is widely used in common discourse and literary works (Jiang and Zhong, 2008:277). An ancient Greek natural philosopher once remarked: There is no doubt that onomatopoetic words are the oldest word-formation of human in the world and the core of the whole vocabulary as well as the foundation of formation and development of language (Liu, 1998:143).Ⅱ. Classification of English Onomatopoetic WordsIn English, there are numerous onomatopoetic words that are composed of imitating sounds of all things whether they are animate or inanimate. According to the meaning of sound, onomatopoetic words can be divided into two categories, which are primitive onomatopoetic word and secondary onomatopoetic word (Wang and Li, 1983:47).2.1 Primitive Onomatopoetic WordPrimitive onomatopoetic word’s phonetic coincides briefly with its semantic, which makes people associate its sound with its meaning directly. Primitive onomatopoetic word can be subdivided into the words that simply imitating the sound but not representing the object itself and imitating the sound as well as the object itself. According to its origin, the former refers to simulating voices of human beings, such as ouch, ow, giggle, shoo, hum, chatter, chuckle etc.; and simulating voices of animals, such as a mew of cat, a drone of bee, a croak of frog, a gaggle of goose, a neigh of horse, a baa of sheep, a oink of pig, a growl of tiger and the like; as well as simulating sound of objects like click, clack, clink, clang, ding dong, hoot, putter, squash and so forth. The latter initially refers to imitating a sound to come into being, and then the meaning of the word has further developed and transformed into analog sound and the object itself. There are three good examples:(1) To begin with, cuckoo imitated a kind of bird’s sound, afterward, refers to the bird, gowk.(2) Cricket imitated the sound of an insect, and then it means the insect, gryllid.(3) Ping- pong to which we are familiar can refer to both the voice of ball and the sport, table tennis.In a word, this kind of onomatopoeia associated pronunciation with the meaning of theword, and its sound can refer to the object itself.2.2 Secondary Onomatopoetic wordSecondary onomatopoetic word refers to an association between pronunciation and meaning, and its phonetic is a symbol of semantic to produce onomatopoetic words. This kind of onomatopoeia, unlike primitive onomatopoetic word, do not directly imitate sound of things to come into being, but by means of symbol to create a word. In English, this word is considered as having onomatopoetic function, because the pronunciation of the letter phoneme or phoneme combination in the word is particularly fitted for expressing a certain meaning, symbolic of a concept or a scene, thus arousing people to produce association. A case in point is that [m], a low nasal, is a symbol of low voices, such as: murmur, mutter, mumble, moan, hum and so on. So the Onomatopoetic words containing the phoneme of [m] just right accorded with the symbolic speech sound. And as words, ending with the three letters, -ump, may indicate a heavy impact like dump, thump, bump, lump, clump etc..III. The Characteristics and Functions of English Onomatopoetic WordsEnglish onomatopoetic word by imitating, drawing and rendering voice of all living things to stimulate people’s hearing and to cause people produce symbolic association can enhance the vividness and iconicity of language expression and gives people a kind of true voice and being personally on the scene (Li and Liu, 2009:164). There are four main characteristics in the onomatopoetic word.3.1 The FlexibilityFirst, it has flexibility. According to the general understanding, onomatopoetic words have taken shape by imitating sounds, but people ’s pronunciation organs can not accurately simulate all kinds of sounds, and different nationalities in the perception and simulation of sound is also not same. Taking the cry of a cock for instance, it is “喔喔喔”in Chinese, “cocorico” (Meng, 1994:561) in French, “Kikeriki” (Deng, 2003:716) in German, and “cock - a - doodle - doo” in English. The Onomatopoeia not only shows different forms in different languages, but also it is used very flexibly in the same language. Its flexibility performs: First of all, the same onomatopoeia can express different sounds. For example: in English, “roar” can refer to people’s laugh and cry of pain, the growls of lion and tiger, the wheeze and asthma of horse due to disease, the sound of storms and waves and the thrumming of the engines and so on. And “scream” means the sound of wind, a shrill whistle and the shriek of human and animals. Secondly, the same voice in English can be expressed by different onomatopoetic words.Looking at this example: These words, arf arf, bay, bow bow, growl and yip yip, can be used to express barking of dog. And the expression of the sound of clock or bell has more than 20 words like chime, chink, clang, clangor, clank, clink etc.. Of course, there are thousands of sounds in the world, and dictionaries can not include all voices whether any languages, English or Chinese, must create new words to express.3.2 The UniversalitySecondly, it has universality. The onomatopoeia is widely used in literatures, idioms, proverbs, daily conversations, news reports and other aspects. From A Comprehensive Dictionary Of English Idioms And Phrases compiled Xiamen university to A Dictionary of Current Idiomatic English edited by Qin Xiubai, we can see clearly that many idioms and phrases come from onomatopoetic words. From various literary works to news reports, we can also see extensive use of onomatopoeia. A writer once remarked: the use of onomatopoeia is everywhere. W e might as well have a look at the following examples:(1) There is no retreat but in Submission and Slavery ! Our chains are forged ! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston !The two sentences come from a moving speech of the Virginia parliament made by the progressive of Patrick Henry during the American Revolution. Using of the onomatopoetic word, clanking, can give people great courage and power and boost inspiration of the speech as if the audience were there and saw slaves wearing heavy chains. The situation having been getting worse and worse, they must immediately take effective measures without any hesitation.(2) One of the most picturesque and impressive parts of the bazaar is the copper-smiths' market. As you approach it, a tinkling and banging and clashing begins to impinge on your ears.The three onomatopoetic words, tinkling, banging and clashing, have taken on a hustling and bustling scene in Eastern Bazaar, a bronze market. The three words would make readers feel a festive ambiance and scene.(3) My souls, how the wind did scream along! And every second or two there's come a glare that lit up the white caps for half a mile around, and you'd see the islands looking dusty through the rain and the trees thrashing around the wind, then comes a h-whack-bum! Bum bumble -umble-umbue-bum-um and the thunder would go rumbling and grumbling away, and quit -and the rip comes flash and another sockdolager (Twain, 2009:164).In the above paragraph, the writer, Mark T wain, used rhetoric of onomatopoeia and metaphor to vividly portray thunder. The word of crash shows a single sharp thunder, then “rumbling” and “grumbling”, a prolonged shriek of thunder, and then the “tumbling” and “rolling”, a long rumble and slow vanishing thunder.3.3 The IconicityThirdly, it has iconicity. The onomatopoetic word not only imitates sounds but also gives person a feeling of concrete, iconicity, vividness. Therefore, its widespread application has enlarged the English vocabulary. On the other hand, it increases charm of language. As the description of “wind”, we can see the following sentences:(4)The wind swirled and howled in the valley.(5)The wind whistle through the street.(6)A stirring blast of wind came and the leaves rustled.Wind” in the above sentences did neither simply blow nor a fixed voice. “Swirl”, “howl”, “stir” and “rustle”are the direct and indirect description of wind to make person hear the sound as if he was personally on the scene.Next, it has reverse. Some onomatopoeia in long term use has gradually lost its onomatopoeia significance and directly become the concept meaning of the word, even converted into verbs. For example:(7) The rain pattered all night.(8) A rock splashed down into the river.(9) Rainsford had not been entirely clear-headed when the chateau gates snapped shut behind him.In the above three sentences, the onomatopoetic words, patter, splash and snap, have completely transformed noun into verb, however, it is easy to see that they still have a very strong echoic element.3.4 The CreativityFinally, it has creativity. Onomatopoetic words mainly imitate sounds of the nature, but because human beings are the subject of social activities and can use ears and brains to feel and interpret as well as distinguish different sounds, even make a variety of sounds. Therefore, some new words do not mimic natural sounds, but human beings imagine sound to convey or express one's tender feeling as so to enhance the expression of language. Let’s take a look for the following sentences:(10) My day crackled ane were up in smoke.(11) His thoughts rattled through all the things and therefore he could not go to sleep though he lay in bed for six hours.In example (10), the “crackled” means a sharp and rapid slight voice, especially the sound of fuel or crackling in fire; and “my day” is compared to fuel, like disappearing smoke, which means I passed without any success those days. The metaphor was hit off and very successful. In example (11), thoughts wouldn't rattle even pass through things just in that the onomatopoetic word of rattle serves as thoughts of the predicate verb, then activates the abstract noun, thoughts, which not only can make sound, but also pass through.Two examples in the above succeeded in using onomatopoeia to flirt by the sound. The matter that cannot make voices was vividly portrayed. And making the sound, shape, meaning and feelings melts in a furnace and greatly enhances the expression of literal.IV. The Translation Skills of English Onomatopoetic WordsAccording to the characteristics and functions of onomatopoeia, we can easily make sense of the meaning of onomatopoetic word in various situations and also be more idiomatic translation of onomatopoeia in the sentence. T o sum up, Several methods like direct transliteration，converted translation and added translation are used to translate English onomatopoetic words.4.1 The Direct TransliterationPeople living in the same world have experienced the similar or same nature life. Therefore, simulating the sound of people, animals, or nature is same or similar in most cases. That is to say, for the same object making the sound, there is a basic correspondence and rough equivalence between Chinese and English. So when translating English onomatopoeia into Chinese, we can use the method of direct transliteration according to the sound of Chinese onomatopoeia (Liu, 2007:151-154). For example:（12）Pooh! What do you take me for? (呸! 你把我当成什么人了? )（13）The stream went gurgling on. (溪水潺潺地流。
英语拟声词的任意性和理据性的自我评价
英语拟声词的任意性和理据性的自我评价English: Onomatopoeia, as a type of sound words that imitate or suggest the source of the sound that they describe, is often seen as arbitrary and subjective due to its reliance on the individual speaker's interpretation and cultural background. While some onomatopoeic words may have clear connections to actual sounds, such as "buzz" for the sound of bees or "sizzle" for the sound of frying food, many others can vary greatly across languages and even within the same language. For example, the sound of a dog barking may be represented as "woof" in English, "bau" in Italian, or "wuff" in German. In addition, the way individuals perceive and interpret sounds can also influence the creation of onomatopoeic words. This fluidity and variation in onomatopoeia make it both arbitrary, as it lacks a universal standard, and subjective, as it is influenced by individual experiences and cultural backgrounds.Translated content: 拟声词作为一种模仿或暗示其描述的声音来源的声音词，由于依赖于个体说话者的解释和文化背景，通常被视为任意和主观。

英语拟声词的比拟与翻译
英语拟声词的比较与翻译摘要：拟声词是某一特定语言与自然声音相结合的产物，通过比较英、汉拟声词在语音、表达方式方面的差异，加深对于英、汉语语言体系的认识，并由此探究英汉拟声词的互译。
关键词：拟声词；语音；表达方式；互译一引言拟声词，又称象声词，是模拟自然界声响而创造的词汇，是世界上所有语言都具备的成分。
P．H．Matthew认为，一个词的语音或发音过程模仿了该词所表示的声音或与该词所表示的事物相关，则该词为拟声词。
“Onomatopoeia：a word or process of forming words whose phonetic form is perceived as imitating a sound,or sound associated with something,that they denote.”我国第一部诗歌总集，周代文学的代表作《诗经》的首篇：“关关(睢鸠的叫声)睢鸠，在河之洲，窈窕淑女,君子好逑”。
十九世纪名诗人AlfredTennyson(阿尔弗雷德·丁尼生)则以Break，Break, Break(哗啦,哗啦，哗啦)，冷漠的海水冲击岩石的声音来衬托他痛失挚友的无限衰思．令读者惊心动魄。
本文就英汉拟声词的语音，表达方式，互译方面进行对比。
二英语拟声词的语音比较拟声词是对自然声音的模仿，词的发音即“意义的回声”。
以语音形式对自然界发出的声音进行直接模仿，拟声的基本要求都是“像”客体的声音但也不是说一定要原声实录。
因为自然界的声响各具特色，千奇百怪，而语音却受环境和各拟声词直接源于人类对大自然各种声音的模仿，而这种模仿超越了地域的制，只针对具体的事物。
辜正坤认为“由于人类在表达自己的情绪或作价值判断的时候，其心理活动必然产生相应的生理反应。
心理上的昂扬情绪必然借着生理上的发音器官的开放状态表现出来；同理，心理上的受阻情绪亦借着生理上的促迫状态表现出来。
”因此这种音义同构现象是必然的。

According to the degree of correlation, English onomatopoeia can be divided into primary onomatopoeia and secondary onomatopoeia. This paper implemented research on the phonetic motivation of secondary onomatopoeic words by exemplification. It has been found that part of the meaning of secondary onomatopoeic words is represented by some letters which imitate a particular sound in nature. In addition, it made statistics on the transla-tions of some onomatopoeic words in major English-Chinese dictionaries and classified them ac-cording to whether the translations reflect onomatopoetic effect. The statistics showed that some secondary onomatopoeic words in the examples of popular English-Chinese dictionaries are not properly translated, which suggests negligence of their phonetic motivation. Finally, it put forward some suggestions on the translation of secondary onomatopoeia. It hopes to deepen the under-standing of English learners and translation researchers on English secondary onomatopoeia, and to raise people’s attention to the translation of English secondary onomatopoeia.

英语拟声词的任意性和理据性的自我评价
英语拟声词的任意性和理据性的自我评价全文共3篇示例，供读者参考篇1Title: The Arbitrariness and Motivation of English Onomatopoeia: A Self-EvaluationIntroductionEnglish onomatopoeia plays a crucial role in language, serving as a bridge between sound and meaning. In this essay, I will evaluate the arbitrary and motivated nature of English onomatopoeia, discussing how these words are formed and their impact on language.Arbitrariness of English OnomatopoeiaOne perspective on English onomatopoeia is its arbitrariness - the idea that the sound of a word doesn't necessarily correspond to its meaning. For example, the word "buzz" imitates the sound of a bee, but there is no inherent connection between the word and the sound it represents. This arbitrariness allows for flexibility and creativity in language, as speakers can come up with new onomatopoeic words to mimic sounds.Motivation of English OnomatopoeiaOn the other hand, some English onomatopoeic words are motivated - they have a direct link to the sound they represent. For example, the word "hiss" imitates the sound of air escaping, creating a hissing sound. This motivation can enhance the understanding and vividness of language, as the sound of the word reflects its meaning.Hybrid Nature of English OnomatopoeiaEnglish onomatopoeia can also have a hybrid nature, combining both arbitrary and motivated elements. For example, the word "crash" imitates the sound of a loud collision, while also incorporating the harsh consonant sounds of the word itself. This hybrid nature adds complexity and richness to the language, allowing for multiple layers of meaning to be conveyed through onomatopoeic words.Impact of English OnomatopoeiaEnglish onomatopoeia has a significant impact on language, influencing how we perceive and interact with the world around us. These words can evoke strong emotions and sensory experiences, bringing language to life in a dynamic way. Additionally, onomatopoeic words can help to create a sense ofcommunity and shared understanding among speakers, as they convey common sounds and experiences in a universally recognizable way.In conclusion, English onomatopoeia is a key aspect of language that combines arbitrariness and motivation to create a unique and dynamic linguistic form. As speakers, we have the creativity and flexibility to form new onomatopoeic words, while also drawing on the motivated sounds of existing words to enhance our communication. By recognizing and appreciating the arbitrary and motivated nature of English onomatopoeia, we can deepen our understanding and appreciation of language as a whole.篇2Title: The Arbitrariness and Rationality of English Onomatopoeia: A Self-evaluationOnomatopoeia is a linguistic device that imitates natural sounds through words. In the English language, onomatopoeic words add a vibrant and sensory dimension to the language, making communication more vivid and expressive. However, the use of onomatopoeia in English can sometimes seem arbitrary and irrational. In this self-evaluation, I will explore thearbitrariness and rationality of English onomatopoeia and reflect on the reasons behind their usage.Firstly, the arbitrariness of English onomatopoeia lies in the fact that the sound of a word does not necessarily correspond to its meaning. For example, the word "buzz" is used to describe the sound of a bee flying, yet there is no inherent connection between the word "buzz" and the sound itself. This arbitrariness can make it challenging for English learners to understand and remember onomatopoeic words, as they need to rely on memorization rather than logic.On the other hand, the rationality of English onomatopoeia can be seen in the way these words capture the essence of a sound or action. For instance, the word "sizzle" accurately conveys the sound of food frying in a pan, making it easy for speakers to visualize and understand the sound being described. This rationality enhances the communicative power of onomatopoeia, allowing speakers to convey specific sounds and actions with precision and clarity.In my experience, I have found that the arbitrary nature of English onomatopoeia can be both frustrating and fascinating. On the one hand, the lack of a direct correlation between sound and meaning can make it challenging to remember and useonomatopoeic words effectively. On the other hand, this arbitrariness adds a layer of creativity and playfulness to the language, allowing speakers to invent new onomatopoeic words and explore different ways of expressing sounds.As for the rationality of English onomatopoeia, I have come to appreciate how these words can capture the nuances of sound and action with remarkable accuracy. By using onomatopoeic words like "crash" or "thud," I have found that I can communicate sound effects more effectively in writing and speech, enhancing the overall quality of my communication.Overall, I believe that the arbitrariness and rationality of English onomatopoeia are two sides of the same coin, each contributing to the richness and complexity of the language. By embracing the creativity and precision of onomatopoeic words, English speakers can elevate their communication skills and engage with the language in a deeper and more expressive way. In conclusion, while English onomatopoeia may seem arbitrary at times, their rationality and communicative power make them an essential and dynamic aspect of the language.篇3Onomatopoeia is a fascinating aspect of the English language that adds flavor and depth to our communication. These words, which mimic the sound they represent, are not only versatile but also subjective in their usage. In this self-evaluation, I will discuss the arbitrary nature and rationale behind the use of English onomatopoeic words.First and foremost, the arbitrary nature of onomatopoeia lies in its subjective interpretation. While some onomatopoeic words are universally understood and accepted, such as "buzz" for the sound of a bee, others may vary depending on cultural, social, and personal experiences. For example, the sound of a clock ticking can be represented as "tick-tock" in English, but in other languages, it may be "tic-tac" or "tik-tak." This variability showcases the arbitrary nature of onomatopoeic words and emphasizes the importance of context in their usage.Furthermore, the rationale behind the use of onomatopoeia stems from its ability to evoke sensory experiences and emotions in the reader or listener. By incorporating onomatopoeic words into our communication, we can create vivid imagery and enhance the overall impact of our message. For instance, describing the sound of thunder as "rumble" or "crash" can evoke a sense of power and awe, whereas using the word"pitter-patter" to represent the sound of rain can evoke a feeling of coziness and tranquility.In addition to their evocative nature, onomatopoeic words also play a crucial role in language development and learning. Children often learn language through the use of onomatopoeia, as these words are phonetically simple and easily recognizable. By exposing children to onomatopoeic words from a young age, we can help them expand their vocabulary, improve their pronunciation, and develop a deeper appreciation for the nuances of language.In conclusion, the arbitrary nature and rationale behind the use of English onomatopoeic words highlight the versatility and richness of the English language. By embracing the subjective interpretation of onomatopoeia and understanding its evocative power, we can enhance our communication skills and connect with others on a deeper level. Let us continue to explore the world of onomatopoeia and discover the endless possibilities that these words hold.。
用拟声词论证语言符号的任意性
用拟声词论证语言符号的任意性发布时间：2022-07-21T01:38:34.279Z 来源：《时代教育》2022年5期作者：王冰洁[导读] 有些学者如索绪尔认为语言符号具有任意性，有些学者如韩礼德认为语言符号不是任意的，而是具有象似性。
王冰洁西北大学外国语学院陕西西安 710100摘要：有些学者如索绪尔认为语言符号具有任意性，有些学者如韩礼德认为语言符号不是任意的，而是具有象似性。
学术观念不同的主要原因是学者们并没有很清晰地认识到语言符号任意性的意义。
本文基于语言符号任意性的释义，结合英文词汇中的拟声词，论证了语言符号的任意性。
关键词：任意性；拟声词；语言符号1. 引言索绪尔（1959）认为语言是一套人们日常使用的符号系统，它是概念和音响形象的纽带，前者是所指，而后者是能指，二者之间的联系是任意的，即能指和所指之间没有可推导或者可论证的关系。
随着语言学的发展，认知语言学家认为语言符号的形式与意义之间是存在联系的，即语言具有象似性。
语言的象似性是所指和能指之间存在着千丝万缕的联系，即语言符号在语音或者结构上与其所指之间存在映射关系。
拟声词是象似性的一个极其有利的支撑点，因为拟声词的声音和意义之间有直观而可感知的联系。
但是索绪尔却认为拟声词在某些程度上是具有任意性的，因为它们只是近似于某些声音，而且拟声词中的一部分已经是约定俗成的。
本文基于前人的研究，用颇具争议的拟声词佐证，讨论语言符号任意性的合理性。
2. 拟声词与语言符号的任意性及象似性2.1 拟声词在英语中，拟声词是“Onomatopoeia”，该词来源于希腊语 onomapoiein，意义为“name-making”，即“命名”。
由此可见，这是一种通过模拟人类、动物或其他物体发出的声音而形成的单词。
所以，几乎所有的拟声词都是通过模仿客观世界的声音产生的。
简而言之，许多学者认为拟声词的语音与语义之间是存在某种联系的。
拟声词可分为两种类型。
第一种是感叹词。

基于范畴化理论的英语拟声词翻译摘要：英语拟声词的汉译纷繁复杂，缺乏理论支撑。
文章以《苔丝》及其两个中译本为例，以范畴化理论为基础来探讨英语拟声词汉译的方法和技巧。
首先将拟声词类分为三个范畴：行为范畴、事件范畴以及性状范畴。
结合英汉拟声词在范畴层次上不对应的特点，在每一范畴内部通过分析例句，对比其译本总结出其中所使用的翻译方法和技巧。

一、范畴化理论及其指导下《苔丝》中拟声词的分类
范畴化理论是认知语言学的理论基础和核心问题。
范畴不是客观世界的真实反映，而是人通过身体及心智对真实世界的特性进行能动处理的结果，是客观因素与生理、心理、文化因素互相作用的结果。
基于经验，从认知的角度来看，人类是从基本层次范畴来认识事体、理解世界的，我们一般以基本层为核心将范畴分为三个层次：上位层范畴、基本层范畴和下位层范畴。
这样的三分并不意味着范畴只有三层，在每相邻的两个范畴层次中间都会有很多界说不明的层次，只是它们不具有这三个层次的典型性。
依据上述理论，《苔丝》中的拟声词也可以分为行为范畴、事件范畴和性状范畴。
因为这些范畴的边界都比较明确，所以没必要详细分析其分类情况，在下面谈及其翻译时，我们会先将典型拟声词
所在的句子类分到三个范畴中，然后在每一范畴内部分析其在范畴化理论基础上所使用的翻译方法和技巧。
二、基于范畴化理论的《苔丝》中拟声词的翻译
（一）行为范畴拟声词的翻译
《苔丝》中可以类分为行为范畴的拟声词共有40个，但我们主要分析具有典型性的拟声词及其译文，进而总结其翻译方法和技巧。
在注重行动和尚武的骑士文化中，动词一般都属于基本层次范畴，然而，汉语属于安土重迁的尚文静文化，所以行为范畴的拟声词划分得较为详细，被翻译成汉语时就有以下两种情况。
1、英语中的基本层次范畴词译为汉语的上位层范畴词，这一点体现了认知范畴的语境依赖性。
这类拟声词的翻译不在于强调其拟声的特点和效果，主要目的是突出动作，例如：
（1)sl:“in short,”concluded the parson,decisively smacking his leg with his switch.
tlz:“……”牧师态度坚决地拿马鞭子拍着自己的腿，…
tls:“……”牧师用枝条果断地抽打了一下自己的腿，…
例句中的smack主要是强调牧师拍腿的动作，加上这一动作更能显示他下结论时的那种果断的确定的态度。
通过比较，我们发现基于汉语的语言表达习惯，此处仅限于表示拍腿的动作，“抽打”有暴力的意味，所以，“拍着”更符合中文表达习惯。
2、英语中的基本层次范畴词译为汉语的下位层范畴词，这一点同样也体现了认知范畴的语境依赖性。
这类拟声词主要是运用转喻
的方式，将拟声词原本的意义用于描述另外一类事物，例如：（2)sl:the sea was near at hand,but not intrusive;it murmured,…
tlz:…海浪滔滔，克莱尔以为是松涛瑟瑟；松涛瑟瑟，克莱尔却又以为是海浪滔滔。
二者的声音不可分辨。
tls:海就在它身边，却并不扰人。
海涛哗哗地响着，他竟以为是松涛；松涛也哗哗地响着，他又以为是海。
murmur一般指说话窸窸窣窣，低声细气，此处用来描述松林在海风吹拂之下发出瑟瑟的声音。
在特殊的语境中，意义从指人转为指物，得以具体化。
（二）事件范畴拟声词的翻译
事件范畴同样具有层级性，它主要体现的是名物范畴和行为范畴之间的一种关系，体现为名词性。
《苔丝》中可归类于事件范畴的拟声词共有34处，我们依然是通过分析有典型性的拟声词及其译文来总结其翻译技巧。
事件范畴的拟声词不像行为范畴的拟声词那样复杂，一般事件范畴之间都会有其对应表达。
只是中文表达某种声音时有时用“形容词+声”这种形式，有时用“发声体+声”这种形式，例如：
（3)sl:the rat was at last dislodged and amid the barking of dogs,….
tlz:……，那时狗也叫……。
tls:……，苔丝也在狗的汪汪声……
借助于发声体来表达声音也很形象、具体，以上例句的两个译
本分别将barking译为“狗也叫”和“狗的汪汪声”，但是综观整句话，不难发现这句话主要是强调苔丝解开最后一捆麦子的动作，其他声音都是这一动作的背景，所以孙法理将所有声音都译为“＊＊＊声”更适合做背景来突显苔丝的动作。
（三）性状范畴拟声词的翻译
性状范畴的拟声词主要分为以下三种，强调性质、依附于名词的形容词性拟声词和表示状态依附于动词的副词性拟声词，以及做表语被译为动词的分词类拟声词。
1、依据汉语的表达习惯，形容词性的拟声词必须依附于名词才能构成合适的表达，因为汉语中没有表语。
例如：
（4）sl:something in the place, the hour,the crackling fires,…
tlz:那种地方、那种时光、那片哔哔剥剥的火、……。
tls:此时此地，在哔哔剥剥的火光中，……。
（5）sl:the wagon on which mrs.durbeyfield and her family rode was a creaking erection that would scarcely bear the weight of the superincumbent load.
