書面語如何轉換為口語一由導覽語篇視譯談起

Shift of Written Language into Spoken Language: A Study on the Sight Translation of Texts of Sightseeing Guidance

視譯(sighttranslation)是將書面語 (written for reading)的源語譯成口語(spokenfor listening)的一種口譯。因此，書面語如何轉換為口語成為能否順利視譯的關鍵。本論文先觀察內容近似的書面語導覽篇章(text)與口語導覽言談(discourse)，觀察自然形成的書面語與口語有何特微。其次透過對專業口譯員及專攻外文的口譯學習者所進行的視譯實驗，探究書面語轉換至口語的過程。相關的因素可說包括背景知識與意思的外顯(explicitation)、語言單位的「階層上昇」(rankraising，林雅芬2009b)、街接(cohesion)、連貫(coherence)、體恤聽者、監控機制等。
