Abstract
This article investigates the use of finite reporting clauses with that -clause complementation (e.g. I will suggest that …) as devices for the expression of stance in academic texts ( Hyland and Tse 2005 ; Charles 2006 ). These constructions are compared to their functional equivalents in Italian, i.e. reporting clauses with che (‘that’) complementiser. The comparison is carried out using a corpus-based approach, involving the analysis of a parallel corpus of Political Science papers in English and their translations into Italian, as well as a comparable corpus of articles originally written in Italian within the same discipline. Thanks to their ability to convey evaluative meanings, reporting clauses are analysed as structures that may provide insights into the epistemological negotiations taking place in the encounter of different research traditions through the practice of translation.
本文研究了在学术文本中使用有限报告从句和that -从句补语(例如I will suggest that…)作为表达立场的手段(Hyland and Tse 2005;Charles 2006)。将这些结构与意大利语中的功能对等句进行比较，即带che (that)补语的转述从句。比较采用基于语料库的方法进行，包括分析英语政治学论文的平行语料库及其意大利语译文，以及同一学科中最初用意大利语撰写的文章的可比语料库。由于报告从句具有表达评价意义的能力，本文将其作为一种结构进行分析，通过翻译实践，可以深入了解在不同研究传统遭遇时发生的认识论协商。
期刊介绍：
Languages in Contrast aims to publish contrastive studies of two or more languages. Any aspect of language may be covered, including vocabulary, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, text and discourse, stylistics, sociolinguistics and psycholinguistics. Languages in Contrast welcomes interdisciplinary studies, particularly those that make links between contrastive linguistics and translation, lexicography, computational linguistics, language teaching, literary and linguistic computing, literary studies and cultural studies.
