Abstract

When comparing old and new Bible translations, differences are striking at all discourse levels. This paper concentrates on variations in the representation of subjective cognition and reasoning of subjects in the discourse. A corpus-based analysis was conducted that compared the domains of use of causal fragments in Dutch Bible translations that were either old, contemporary and loyal, or “easy”. In a close comparison of Bible translations, differences between domains of use are analysed in more detail. In old translations, the character’s subjective reasoning is clearly separated from the narrator’s utterances. By contrast, in modern translations, causal reasoning is more intertwined between character and narrator, resulting in shared reasoning.

翻译中的连贯

当比较新旧圣经译本时，在各个话语层面上的差异都是惊人的。本文主要研究语篇中主体主观认知和推理表征的变化。进行了一项基于语料库的分析，比较了荷兰圣经翻译中因果片段的使用领域，这些领域要么是旧的、现代的、忠诚的，要么是“容易的”。在对圣经翻译的仔细比较中，更详细地分析了使用领域之间的差异。在旧译本中，人物的主观推理与叙述者的话语明显分离。相比之下，在现代翻译中，因果推理更多地交织在人物和叙述者之间，从而产生共同的推理。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Historical Pragmatics provides an interdisciplinary forum for theoretical, empirical and methodological work at the intersection of pragmatics and historical linguistics. The editorial focus is on socio-historical and pragmatic aspects of historical texts in their sociocultural context of communication (e.g. conversational principles, politeness strategies, or speech acts) and on diachronic pragmatics as seen in linguistic processes such as grammaticalization or discoursization. Contributions draw on data from literary or non-literary sources and from any language. In addition to contributions with a strictly pragmatic or discourse analytical perspective, it also includes contributions with a more sociolinguistic or semantic approach.
