2.1 Review on Cognitive Context in Translation
Western scholars’ studies of context in translation can be classified into twocategories: the ones employing the context of system-functional linguistics and theones employing the context of cognitive science. The relevant literatures will bepresented according to the categorization.Once the System-functional linguistics came into being, it has been applied totranslation studies by translation theorists, like Catford, Baker, House and so on.Catford is the first one applying Halliday’s view on context to translation studiesand stressing the significance of context to translation. Catford (1965) argues that asfor the problem of context, “it is therefore desirable to have a framework of categoriesfor the classification of ‘sub-languages’ or varieties within a total language.” (p.63)The framework mentioned by Catford is the one developed by Halliday into twodimensions: user-related and use-related.Juliane House (2006), the one who presents a theory of translation which is to beunderstood as a theory of re-contextualization that explicates the relationship betweencontext and text, argues that context cannot be regarded in written language translation as dynamic or negotiated. She (2006) believes that functional approachesto language, functional pragmatics and Hallidayan systemic functional linguistics aregiven pReference over psychological, pragmatic, sociolinguistic and conversationanalytic approaches because their notions of context is found to be more suitable forwritten text and thus for a theory of translation as re-contextualization.
