Abstract

The phenomenon of literary quotations in dictionaries finds its origin in the days when the search for equivalents was intertextual rather than interlingual based. For both monolingual and bilingual dictionaries the purpose of literary quotations is to supply evidence of usage and illuminate the meaning of the relevant headword, with the difference that for bilingual dictionaries this is done via translation. This article examines this phenomenon in a nineteenth century Dutch–Chinese dictionary by analysing sample sentences that the compiler has extracted from original Chinese texts. Discussion of examples from different types of text will probe the functioning of the quotations and the intention of the compiler. The inclusion of the quotations in the dictionary appear to be the result of both linguistic and cultural intention, in the sense that they are revealing of the syntax of Chinese but also aspects of Chinese culture. These findings will contribute to the understanding of the practice of the inclusion of literary quotations in bilingual dictionaries and the role of the compiler in introducing foreign cultural aspects.
双语词典中的文学引文——以19世纪《荷汉词典》为例
词典中的文学引文现象起源于当时对对等词的搜索是互文的,而不是基于语际的。无论是单语词典还是双语词典,文学引文的目的都是提供使用证据,并阐明相关词条的含义,不同的是,双语词典是通过翻译完成的。本文通过分析编纂者从中文原文中提取的例句,对19世纪荷汉词典中的这一现象进行了研究。讨论不同类型文本的例子将探讨引文的功能和编译器的意图。词典中的引文似乎是语言和文化意图的结果,从某种意义上说,它们揭示了汉语的语法,也揭示了中国文化的各个方面。这些发现将有助于理解将文学引文纳入双语词典的做法,以及编纂者在介绍外国文化方面的作用。
