Abstract

In order to describe the nature of opera as a polysemiotic artifact and to address the challenges around its transfer, reference is often made to the concept of “context,” which, however, is usually used rather casually and intuitively and is rarely defined precisely. Building on the theory of synsemioticity, a somewhat tighter analytical grid will be presented that allows the extension of context to become clearer. This is achieved in two ways: first, the status of nonverbal in the polysemiotic artifact is addressed, which, referring to Catford, must be defined as co-text rather than as context. Second, it will be shown on which semiotic levels contextuality can be described. The examples given here are taken from the opera Orfeo ed Euridice (1762) by Christoph Willibald Gluck and from some of the translations in German and French based on this work.
翻译是去和重构语义关系
为了描述歌剧作为一种多语种艺术品的性质,并应对围绕其传承的挑战,人们经常提到 "语境 "这一概念,但这一概念通常被随意、直观地使用,很少有精确的定义。在同步交际理论的基础上,我们将提出一个更为严密的分析框架,使语境的外延变得更加清晰。这将通过两种方式来实现:首先,我们将讨论非语言在多交际艺术品中的地位,根据卡特福德的观点,非语言必须被定义为共同语境而非上下文。其次,将说明在哪些符号学层面上可以描述语境性。这里所举的例子选自克里斯托夫-威利巴尔德-格鲁克(Christoph Willibald Gluck)的歌剧《奥菲欧与欧丽狄琪》(1762 年)以及根据这部作品翻译的一些德语和法语译本。
