Third, inspired by the findings, the author hopes to offer some suggestions to the teaching methods of interpreting.

Chapter Two methodology of the Thesis 

In chapter one, three goals have been put forward. In order to achieve them, the author  will  use  the  corpus-based  methodology  to  investigate  the  corpora.  Firstly, description  of  the  conversion,  then  the  introduction  of  the  corpora,  and  finally  the data collection will be presented. 

2.1 Conversion 

As  mentioned  in  chapter  one,  in  translation  and  interpretation,  conversion  is usually referred to the changes of lexical category or parts of the sentence from SL to TL, so as to make TL more precisely (Wang Lei, 2006). Or, from the perspective of functional linguistics, we can see it as a class shift at lexical level. In  Catford’s  theory,  “shifts  departures  from  formal  correspondence  in  the process of going from the SL to the TL. Two major types of ‘shifts’ occur: level shifts and category shifts.” (Catford, 1965) He also used Halliday’s definition of a class as “that  grouping  of  members  of  a  given  unit  which  is  defined  by  operation  in  the structure of the unit next above” (Halliday,1961 ) . So he defines class-shift as “when the  translation  equivalent  of  a  SL  item  is  a  member  of  a  different  class  from  the original  item.  Because  of  the  logical  dependence  of  class  on  structure  (of  the  unit  at the  rank  above)  it  is  clear  that  structure-shifts  usually  entail  class-shifts,  though  this may be demonstrable only at a secondary degree of delicacy.”(Catford, 1965) As  the  author’s  investigation  specifically  focuses  on  the  conversion  from Chinese nouns to English verbs, the specific cause of this kind of conversion should be noticed. The primary cause of the conversion is that the two languages belong to different  language  families,  Chinese  belonging  to  Sino-Tibetan  languages,  while English belonging to Indo-European languages. In the view of morphologies, Chinese is an isolating language, while English is a fusional language. Thus, comparing these two languages, Chinese shows two features: less declensions and less morpheme per word ratio. Therefore, with seldom change of plural form and no change of tense, it is not  easy  for  Chinese  English  majors  to  figure  out  the  categories  of  some  Chinese words, even they are native speakers of Chinese.  And  本论文由英语论文网提供整理，提供论文代写，英语论文代写，代写论文，代写英语论文，代写留学生论文，代写英文论文，留学生论文代写相关核心关键词搜索。
