De l’influence des modes de pensée sur la traduction

Patrick Bachschmidt
p. 145-155

Abstracts

The readability of a pragmatic text ought to be considered as an essential feature for the translator deeply convinced of acting as a cultural mediator within a communicative process. This article sets out to explore cultural contrast more in depth and analyse how the linguistic factor depends, in a psychological and sociological perspective, on the ways of thinking of native French and English speakers. We first examine the tendency of French speakers towards abstract ideas and of English speakers towards concrete ideas, then how French and English phraseology is actually structured and finally why a translated text may be built up in a logically different way.
