跨文化语用学对翻译的指导作用

跨文化语用学与翻译研究密切相关。脱离了文化语境的翻译难以精确传达原文的精神与要旨,甚至会产生许多重大的失误与矛盾。跨文化语用学的研究对于翻译原则的把握、翻译特殊现象如不可译性等能做出合理的解释以及方向性的指导。因此,只有在跨文化语用学的视域范围内进行翻译研究与实践,才有可能将翻译研究引入更高的层次,也才能进一步拓展跨文化语用学的研究空间。

Cross-cultural “distance”, “friction” and “flow”: exploring the experiences of pre-service teachers on international practicum

The focus of this paper is to illustrate Australian regional pre-service teachers' perceptions of an international practicum: their cross-cultural understanding, notions of privilege and teacher/professional identity development. Findings indicate that there were three overlapping dimensions of cross-cultural understanding for pre-service teachers: distance, friction and flow. At times students acknowledged the value of their placement, yet indicated a lack of empathy and engagement with the culture visited. At other times there was clear frustration at the cultural differences, alongside a growth in awareness. The fullest dimension was where pre-service teachers and their students learnt from each other, signalling a sharing towards cross-cultural understanding. Implications of these findings aim to inform how international practicums are designed in the future, as well as signalling directions for further research relating to these border crossings.     

Insider-outsider-inbetweener? Researcher positioning,participative methods and cross-cultural educational research

This article reflects on the use of participative techniques with final-year secondary school students in one rural community in Western Kenya as an enabling tool for an outsider to both gain insider perspectives and develop a more insider role in that community by privileging and legitimating participant-driven data. Conclusions put forward the concept of the ‘inbetweener’ researcher, neither entirely inside or outside, and consider how using such methods allowed the formulation of authentic participative knowledge (co-)construction and construction of meaningful relationships in the field.     

Fostering Distributed Science Learning Through Collaborative Technologies

TACTICS (French and Spanish acronym standing for Collaborative Work and Learning in Science with Information and Communications Technologies) is an ongoing project aimed at investigating a distributed community of learning and practice in which information and communications technologies (ICT) take the role of collaborative tools to support social construction of knowledge. This community is composed of researchers, graduate students, and high-school teachers and their students, from six schools and four universities in Canada and Mexico. It set out in fall 2000 to develop a community around the general topic of integrating concepts in science school subjects. Once a prototype community is established, it can become a terrain where different aspects could be studied. Subsequently, researchers could gradually take a back seat allowing as well as ensuring the autonomy of the school members involved and, thereby, the viability of the learning community. The set up of the proposed prototype distributed science learning community was therefore an essential yet far from trivial first step. This paper discusses the process of setting up the community and the lessons learned.     

语言、文化及跨文化交际略论

从语言的文化特性入手，围绕文化蕴涵与语言能力的建构等讨论长期以来我国英语学习中所存在的主要问题，认为在跨文化交际中必须强化文化语境知识和文化素养习得的突出地位。惟其如此，才能使语言主体悉心体味两种文化的特征与差异，逐渐养成摄取交际文化的习惯，不断增强其跨文化交际的能力，并最终成为该语言的运用者。
