非母語話者の誤用と誤訳に関する一考察 ―中国語母語話者の中日誤訳を中心に―

Abstract

Until now, error and mistranslation have been considered different concepts and categories. One of the reasons is that till now, native Japanese speakers and Non-native Japanese speakers have been given the same treatment in large scheme of error analysis. But on second thought there are noticeable differences in error analysis between them, thus, we should study the differences aiming at error and mistranslation. Generally speaking, when translating, there is a process that people translate a language into mother tongue and translate mother tongue into a language. It will be less or none potential for errors when translating a language into mother tongue, if we have fully aware of its culture background and meaning. On the contrary, when translating mother tongue into another language, it will be completely different. In other words, there will be less or none wrong understanding of mother tongue when translating it into another language, however, we cannot deny that in a translation with other language, there will be several errors because of error. In this thesis, by analyzing translation theories and the practical examples of Chinese-Japanese translation, the writer will put forward an idea that misinterpreting of non-native Japanese speakers is close to error or a form of error and it is necessary to give consideration to above-mentioned situation in upcoming research about error.
