Abstract The present paper explores how the issue of the current energy crisis in the wake of the Covid-19 and Ukraine war was constructed by political cartoons. Adopting Critical Multimodal Metaphor Scenario Analysis, this paper focuses on the disease metaphor scenario, one of the most recurring scenarios in political cartoons on this topic, and specifically emphasizes how the method of treatment, one of the structural elements in the scenario, is represented. The analysis reveals that two predominant scenarios constitute the representations of the method of treatment: narcotic scenario and medicine scenario. They differ in entailments: one frames fossil energy as detrimental narcotic while the other frames it as therapeutic medicine. By means of the two scenarios, these cartoons convey strong criticism of the major involvers in the energy crisis, namely, the E.U., Russia, and the U.S. The cartoons make full use of the dynamic interplay of visual and/or verbal metonymy, metaphor, and narrative to elicit associations, assumptions and evaluations in the viewers, helping facilitate understanding and constructing a view of the crisis reality. The present analysis sheds light on the way cartoonists reshape the public point of view in the framing of specific event(s).
摘要:本文探讨了在新冠肺炎和乌克兰战争之后,当前的能源危机问题是如何被政治漫画所构建的。本文采用批判性多模态隐喻情景分析方法,对政治漫画中出现频率最高的疾病隐喻情景进行了分析,并具体强调了作为该情景结构要素之一的治疗方法是如何表现的。分析表明,两种主要情景构成了治疗方法的表征:麻醉情景和药物情景。他们的不同之处在于:一个将化石能源视为有害的麻醉剂,而另一个将其视为治疗药物。通过这两个场景,这些漫画表达了对能源危机主要参与者,即欧盟,俄罗斯和美国的强烈批评。漫画充分利用视觉和/或口头转喻,隐喻和叙事的动态相互作用,引发观众的联想,假设和评估,有助于促进理解和构建对危机现实的看法。本文的分析揭示了漫画家在具体事件的框架中重塑公众观点的方式。

Revisiting the concepts of translation studies: equivalence in linguistic translation from the point of view of Peircean universal categories 重新审视翻译研究的概念:从佩尔海普遍范畴的视角看语言翻译中的对等

Abstract The concept of equivalence seems to be one of the most contentious issues of the academic discourse on linguistic translation, as it has long been associated with the much criticised approaches that would follow the naive idea of sameness or close correspondence between languages. For these reasons there have been voices claiming that the concept is not needed and, as such, should be rejected. However, equivalence is central to linguistic translation, being one of the main goals of this activity, even though it is often hidden behind other concepts, including adequacy, relevance or interpretive resemblance. Accordingly, a more global approach offered by semiotics may help to revisit the traditional, yet unpopular, understanding of equivalence. This article attempts to discuss the concept of equivalence from the point of view of the universal categories put forward by Charles Sanders Peirce. To this end it provides an overview of approaches to equivalence within the discipline of translation studies, lists the most pertinent features of the concept and refers them to Peirce’s universal categories. It is argued that equivalence is founded on the triad similarity-difference-mediation that is determined by and within the context of translation.
对等的概念似乎是语言翻译学术话语中最具争议的问题之一,因为它长期以来一直与许多批评的方法联系在一起,这些方法将遵循语言之间的相同或密切对应的天真想法。由于这些原因,有人声称不需要这一概念,因此应予以拒绝。然而,对等是语言翻译的核心,是这一活动的主要目标之一,尽管它经常隐藏在其他概念后面,包括充分性、相关性或解释相似性。因此,符号学提供的一种更全面的方法可能有助于重新审视传统的、但不受欢迎的对等理解。本文试图从皮尔斯提出的普遍范畴的角度来探讨对等的概念。为此,本文概述了翻译研究中对等的研究方法,列出了对等概念的最相关特征,并将其与皮尔斯的普遍范畴联系起来。本文认为,对等是建立在“相似-差异-中介”这一三位一体的基础上的,这一三位一体是由翻译语境所决定的。

Patriarchy as a social construct: a gastro-semiotic criticism of the foodspheres in J.P. Clark’s The Wives’ Revolt 父权制作为一种社会建构:j·p·克拉克《妻子的反抗》中对食物领域的美食符号学批评
Pub Date : 2022-12-01 DOI: 10.1515/lass-2022-2011

Abstract The broad theoretical underpinning of this paper is that food is a vital part of the second-order signifying modes in literary texts. Its definite thesis, in relation to the age-long debates on power dichotomy between male and female gender, is that while men merely enjoy and noisily exercise social power sustained by patriarchy, which is a contrivance, women possess a great deal of authentic powers usually not overtly acknowledged. These theoretical and ideological (thesis) statements respectively are demonstrated through a semiotic reading and analysis of four foodspheres in J.P. Clark’s The Wives’ Revolt, using the critical lenses of gastro-criticism, social semiotics and textual cooperation theory. Through these analytical lenses, the paper recognises that each of the foodspheres in this play is a hypertext which transcodes or interogates the diverse gendered power relation hypotexts embodied in religious, socio-cultural and institutional semiospheres. It concludes that the power that women exercise in food preparation and administration, as signified in some of the foodspheres analysed, is a semiotic prototype of the many other unnoticed powers, through which the female homo rule the world.
摘要本文的理论基础是,食物是文学文本中二级意指模式的重要组成部分。与长期以来关于男女两性权力二分法的争论有关,它的明确论点是,尽管男性只是享受并喧闹地行使由父权制维持的社会权力,这是一种发明,但女性拥有大量通常不被公开承认的真正权力。通过对j·p·克拉克《妻子们的反抗》中四个食物领域的符号学阅读和分析,运用美食批评、社会符号学和文本合作理论的批判视角,分别论证了这些理论和思想(论文)陈述。通过这些分析镜头,本文认识到剧中的每一个食物领域都是一个超文本,它将体现在宗教、社会文化和制度半领域中的各种性别权力关系伪文本进行了转码或交互。它的结论是,女性在食物准备和管理方面所发挥的力量,正如所分析的一些食物领域所表明的那样,是许多其他未被注意到的力量的符号学原型,女性通过这些力量统治世界。

Construing time as blank signs in Waiting for Godot 在《等待戈多》中将时间理解为空白符号
Pub Date : 2022-11-18 DOI: 10.1515/lass-2022-0007
Xuejiao Lin
Abstract Story time and narrative time are two interrelated issues in the research of drama. In Waiting for Godot, mere explorations in the perplexing systems of story time cannot pin down the signifieds of time, while incontiguity and quiescency of narrative time highlight the theme “Existence of time is meaningless”. The contradictory and paradoxical co-existence of story time and narrative time contributes to the construing “the void of ambiguous signifieds” and “the void of ambiguous signifiers” of time as blank signs.
故事时间与叙事时间是戏剧研究中两个相互关联的问题。在《等待戈多》中,仅仅在错综复杂的故事时间体系中进行探索并不能确定时间的意义,而叙事时间的不连续性和静止性则突出了“时间的存在是无意义的”这一主题。故事时间与叙事时间的矛盾与矛盾并存,促成了时间作为空白符号的“歧义虚空”和“歧义能指虚空”的建构。

Fighting the COVID-19 pandemic with words: an investigation of pragmatic presuppositions in Chinese anti-pandemic slogans 用语言对抗新冠肺炎:中国抗疫口号的语用预设考察

Abstract Slogans play an important role in Chinese society. Numerous slogans have been created and used in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. As an eye-catching linguistic phenomenon, anti-pandemic slogans have sparked heated debates not only among the general public, but also in the academic sector. This study is focused on the pragmatic presuppositions in Chinese anti-pandemic slogans. By adopting a mixed approach (quantitative and qualitative), it finds that six types of pragmatic presuppositions are used in Chinese anti-pandemic slogans. Among them, the behavioral presuppositions rank first in frequency of use, factive presuppositions second, stative presuppositions third, belief presuppositions fourth, cultural presuppositions fifth and emotional presuppositions sixth. The pragmatic presuppositions of these slogans can serve four major functions, which are persuading people to act properly, spreading scientific knowledge, warning people against wrongdoings and bolstering people’s confidence. However, there are sporadic occurrences of misusing pragmatic presuppositions in the so-called “hardcore” slogans. This study concludes that knowledge of pragmatic presuppositions is essential to a correct understanding and a proper creation of Chinese anti-pandemic slogans.
标语在中国社会中扮演着重要的角色。在抗击COVID-19大流行的斗争中,人们创造并使用了许多口号。作为一种引人注目的语言现象,抗疫口号不仅在公众中引起了激烈的争论,而且在学术界也引起了激烈的争论。本研究的重点是中国抗疫口号中的语用预设。通过采用混合方法(定量和定性),它发现中国抗流行病口号中使用了六种类型的实用预设。其中,使用频率最高的是行为预设,其次是主动预设,第三是静态预设,第四是信仰预设,第五是文化预设,第六是情感预设。这些口号的实用预设主要有四种作用:劝导人们正确行事、传播科学知识、警示人们勿做坏事、增强人们的信心。然而,在所谓的“硬核”口号中,也偶尔出现误用实用主义前提的情况。本研究的结论是,了解语用预设对于正确理解和正确创作中国抗疫口号至关重要。

Sign and indexicality: a case study of enhancing alignment of situation models in SCWT 符号和索引性:在SCWT中加强情境模型对齐的案例研究
Pub Date : 2022-10-28 DOI: 10.1515/lass-2022-0004
Jing Zhu, Chun-xu Duan
Abstract The story continuation writing task (SCWT) is a newly emerging proficiency test of National Matriculation English Test (NMET) in three provinces in China. Nevertheless, little is known with respect to how test-takers enhance their alignment of situation models in SCWT. This paper reports on a case study of the development of situational alignment of one L2 (second language) learner in a senior high school in Jiangsu Province, China, drawing on qualitative data collected via individual face-to-face interviews, and supplemented by face-to-face conversations and email exchanges, over a period of one year. This study investigates how the test-taker enhances her alignment of situation models, and what factors contribute to her development of situational alignment under the framework of a new semiotic research finding, a pan-indexicality model. This paper concludes that test-takers possess the capacity of developing their alignment of situation models, and that a pan-indexicality model, affording opportunities for test-takers to accurately decode the meaning of a linguistic sign at the overall sense level, plays a decisive role in identifying and integrating key dimensions of situation models and eventually enhancing test-takers’ situational alignment. This study suggests that a pan-indexicality model can be employed by test-takers to understand the meaning of a linguistic sign at the overall sense level, and test-takers’ encyclopedic knowledge, contextual information, and personal emotions regarding a linguistic sign should be highlighted in classroom instruction to help test-takers construct aligned situation models in SCWT.
摘要:故事接续写作任务(SCWT)是中国三省高考(NMET)中一项新兴的水平测试。然而,关于考生如何在SCWT中增强他们对情境模型的一致性,人们知之甚少。本文以江苏省一所高中的一名L2(第二语言)学习者为研究对象,在为期一年的时间里,利用面对面访谈收集的定性数据,辅以面对面对话和电子邮件交流,对其情景一致性的发展进行了案例研究。本研究在一个新的符号学研究发现——泛指数模型的框架下,探讨了考生如何增强情境模型的一致性,以及哪些因素促进了考生情境一致性的发展。本文认为,考生具有情境模型一致性发展的能力,而泛索引性模型为考生在整体感觉层面上准确解读语言符号的意义提供了机会,对于识别和整合情境模型的关键维度,最终提高考生的情境一致性起着决定性作用。本研究认为,应试者可以利用泛索引性模型在整体感觉层面理解语言符号的意义,并在课堂教学中强调应试者对语言符号的百科知识、语境信息和个人情绪,以帮助应试者在SCWT中构建一致的情境模型。

Abstract The study examines how language, peculiar to members of the guilds in Ẹdo, is used to express their cultural ideology. This is expected to provide the necessary insight and comprehension of the nature of the guilds’ socio-cultural activities resulting in the distinct ideology expressed by them. Data were purposively collected through the indepth interview of key informants (individuals with knowledge of the activities of the guilds examined) and direct observation of the interaction between the members of the different guilds. The collected data were subjected to discursive analysis. The language used by the guilds in interaction among members is a marker of the guilds ideological orientation as this serves to bring members together while at the same time separates those that are not members of the respective guilds. The choice of language use by these groups therefore is determined by the ideological orientation of the guilds which seeks to maintain the relevance and supremacy of the group in the larger Ẹdo (Bini) society.
摘要本研究考察了Ẹdo中公会成员所特有的语言是如何表达他们的文化意识形态的。预计这将提供必要的洞察力和理解行会的社会文化活动的性质,从而产生他们所表达的独特意识形态。数据的收集是有目的的,通过对关键线人(了解被调查行会活动的个人)的深度访谈和对不同行会成员之间互动的直接观察。收集到的资料进行了论述分析。行会在成员之间的互动中使用的语言是行会意识形态取向的标志,因为这可以将成员聚集在一起,同时将那些不是各自行会成员的人分开。因此,这些群体对语言使用的选择是由行会的意识形态取向决定的,行会寻求在更大的Ẹdo(比尼)社会中保持群体的相关性和至高无上的地位。

An analysis of the Q–A unities constructed by the interrogative pronoun какой 疑问句代词какой构成的Q-A统一性分析
Pub Date : 2022-10-03 DOI: 10.1515/lass-2022-2008

Abstract Language is a symbolic system consisting of the signifier and the signified. There is an asymmetrical binary correspondence between them, which is also widespread in Russian linguistics. There are two main types of interrogative sentence formed by the interrogative pronoun какой. Traditional lexicography and grammar have limitations in their understanding of какой and of the interrogative sentences it forms. The analysis of such syntactic phenomena should be included in the Q–A unity, which can be described in terms of argument structures, generic relations, deixis, relevant characteristics, properties, or attributes of objects, etc.
语言是一个由能指和所指组成的符号系统。它们之间存在着不对称的二元对应关系,这在俄语语言学中也很普遍。由疑问代词какой构成的疑问句主要有两种类型。传统词典学和语法对какой及其构成的疑问句的理解存在局限性。对这类句法现象的分析应包含在Q-A统一体中,可以从论元结构、属类关系、指示、相关特征、性质或对象属性等方面进行描述。

The tenacity of culture as represented by the Chinese color term Qing 中国的颜色词“清”所代表的文化的坚韧
Pub Date : 2022-09-12 DOI: 10.1515/lass-2022-0002
Jun Wang, Cheng-dong Guan
Abstract qing (青) is a very special and controversial color term in Chinese language and culture for the fact that it can refer to green, blue, or black depending on how it is used in collocation or context; it can be used as both a basic color term and mixed color term; in context it can be understood to refer to a certain color, but sometimes nobody can tell for sure what specific color it refers to; it can refer to color, but in more situations the understanding of it just goes beyond the perception of color, bringing about a vague but delightful feeling about the world in general.

在中国语言和文化中,“青”是一个非常特殊和有争议的颜色术语,因为它可以指绿色、蓝色或黑色,这取决于它在搭配或语境中的使用方式;它既可以作为基本色项,也可以作为混合色项;在上下文中,它可以被理解为指某种颜色,但有时没有人能确切地说出它指的具体颜色;它可以指颜色,但在更多的情况下,对它的理解只是超越了对颜色的感知,给人一种模糊但愉悦的感觉。这个词的基本意义和联想意义在其产生的早期阶段就已经存在,这些意义在现代汉语的各种场合中仍然可以被感知到,并且使用的方式更加广泛。在很大程度上,它已经成为中国文化的一个相当独特的标志,被中国人民如此坚定、珍爱和持久地持有。清的例子是一个典型的例子,反映了中国人如何看待世界。

Ecosemiotics and biosemiotics: a comparative study 生态符号学与生物符号学:比较研究
Pub Date : 2022-09-01 DOI: 10.1515/lass-2022-2007
Haiqing Tian, Yongxiang Wang
Abstract Ecological semiotics belongs to the field of culture, and biological semiotics refers to biology. There are both similarities and differences between ecological semiotics (ecosemiotics) and biological semiotics (biosemiotics). “Co-existence and co-prosperity” are the highest true meaning of human beings and nature. Faced with the increasingly serious ecological crisis, human beings, as the only semiotic animal that can reflect on sign activities, are ultimately responsible for other species and the entire ecological community.
生态符号学属于文化领域,生物符号学属于生物学。生态符号学(ecosemiotics)与生物符号学(biosemiotics)既有相似之处,也有不同之处。“共生共荣”是人与自然的最高真谛。面对日益严重的生态危机,人类作为唯一能够反思符号活动的符号学动物,最终要对其他物种和整个生态群落负责。
