An English-Chinese Translation Model and Its Working Mechanisms Based on Transformational-Generative Concepts
The present study aimed to formulate an English-Chinese translation model and its working mechanisms in light of Chomskys transformational-generative concepts.It was found that,in Chomskys view,the generation of language undergoes transformations from deep structure to surface structure,a process that is common to all languages and that,analogously,translation also experiences transformations; however,it is,rather,the other way around,namely,from surface structure to deep structure at first,and from deep structure to surface structure in the end.In this connection,this study simulated an English-Chinese translation model featured by a “layer analysis and a “five-Chinese-character blender as primary operators.We conclude that the findings will shed light on the nature of translation and are conducive to translation teaching and research.
