한중 번역의 혼종어 번역 전략 연구 -『한겨레』중문판 번역 사례를 중심으로-

Abstract

This study analyzed translation strategies and semantic changes of hybrid words in Korean-Chinese translation, targeting cases of hybrid words translations extracted from articles in the Chinese version of <The Hankyoreh> for the past year. Recently, the proportion of hybrid words in Korean has been increasing. As the number of hybrid words increases, the semantic domain of Korean is also changing. In addition, Korean and Chinese show very large differences in the conditions for hybridization due to their character traits. Prior to full-scale research, this study first redefines and classifies hybrid words. In addition, based on the translation equivalence theory, hybrid language translation cases were analyzed to derive three hybrid words translation strategies, and the number of translation strategies was calculated. Lastly, the semantic changes seen in the Korean-Chinese translation of the hybrid language were analyzed. Through the above-mentioned study, in the aspect of Korean-Chinese translation of hybrid words, the case of ‘equivalent strategy in the same form’ with the most literal translation and the case of ‘maintaining meaning’ with little change in meaning were found the most. Finally, with this study as an opportunity, it is expected that hybrid language translation research will be more actively conducted and lead to more diverse fields in the future.
