Abstract:

A Deductive-logic-based Falsification of the Explicitation Hypothesis in
Translation
基于演绎逻辑的翻译明晰化假说证伪

The present research presents a deductive-logic-based falsification of the
explicitation hypothesis in translation initiated by Blum-Kulka and supported
by some corpus-based empirical studies. Taking the definitions of the four
terms, namely, “explicitation”, “translation”, “inherent” and “universal” as
our critical weapons, it demonstrates why the arguments used in previous
studies represented by Øverås (1998), Olohan and Baker (2000), Pápai (2004),
Kenny (2005), Klaudy & Károly (2005), Konšalová (2007) have failed to confirm
the explicitation hypothesis. 
The methods shared by these previous corpus-based studies include the
inductive logic of the jump of the conclusion from a strong tendency or
likelihood of explicitation to the claim of the universally present
explicitation in whatever is called translation; following up inductive
reasoning with deductive reasoning; using the unconsciousness or
sub-consciousness or subliminality on the part of translator when resorting to
explicitation; or the validity of the asymmetry hypothesis or the lack of
justifiability of the explicitation, as premises of that kind of reasoning. 
The present research puts these arguments to the test of deductive logic based
on correct definitions of key concepts, sound propositions, and reasoning free
from fallacies, and it reveals the logical fallacies of these reasonings,
including Non Sequitur, disguised replacement of concept and hasty
generalization. It is concluded that these reasonings are illogical and their
conclusions are false.
