A Quantitative Study on the Iconicity Degree of Onomatopoeia Transliteration in Mo Yan's Sandalwood Death
This paper proposes the concept of the iconicity degree of onomatopoeia transliteration from a quantitative perspective,that is,the degree of phonetic iconicity of onomatopoeia when the original language is translated into the target language.The mechanism of onomatopoeia transliteration from Chinese to English derived from quantitative data has a good fit with the linguistic characteristics of English onomatopoeia.This study provides a theoretical basis for the transliteration of onomatopoeia to maximize the artistic conception of the source language,and takes a practical guiding role for translators to translate onomatopoeia.
