摘要

本文探讨了译者如何在多个相互竞争的拟声变体之间进行选择，以表达英语到荷兰语翻译中的(口头)始发性。采用基于语料库的多因子研究设计，我们测量了三种众所周知的社会认知机制对实际选择的影响，即复杂性原则、风险规避和同源暴露。我们应用行为概况方法，该方法允许我们通过id标签操作这三种解释机制，然后我们使用条件随机森林模型来确定每种机制对四个相互竞争的初始化动词之间选择的影响。我们的分析结果表明，复杂性原则在翻译文本中发挥了明显的作用，因为在被动结构中存在对主动结构和原型动词的明显偏好。没有观察到特定类型的风险规避行为以及同源规避行为。

How do translators select among competing (near-)synonyms in translation?

This article investigates how translators choose between multiple competing onomasiological variants to express (verbal) inchoativity in English-to-Dutch translations. Using a corpus-based multifactorial research design, we measure the impact of three well-known socio-cognitive mechanisms on the actual choice, namely the complexity principle, risk aversion, and cognate exposure. We apply the behavioural profile method, which allows us to operationalise these three explanatory mechanisms via ID-tags, and we then use conditional random forest modelling to determine the impact of each mechanism on the choice between four competing verbs of inchoativity. The results of our analyses show that the complexity principle plays a clear role in translated texts, as there is a significant preference for the active construction and for prototypical verbs in passive constructions. Genre-specific risk-averse behaviour as well as cognate avoidance were not observed.

期刊介绍： Target promotes the scholarly study of translational phenomena from any part of the world and welcomes submissions of an interdisciplinary nature. The journal"s focus is on research on the theory, history, culture and sociology of translation and on the description and pedagogy that underpin and interact with these foci. We welcome contributions that report on empirical studies as well as speculative and applied studies. We do not publish papers on purely practical matters, and prospective contributors are advised not to submit masters theses in their raw state.
