摘要
《荒原蚁丘》中阿契贝在标准英语中嵌入未被翻译的词汇,句法融合和语符转换等策略对帝国中心语言进行重写和改写,一方面是说明他使用的"英语"即地方英语是有别于标准英语的一种"新英语",以此彰显文化之间的差异。另一方面是说明地方英语文学文本中使用的方言口语的词汇、语法形式本身就是文化真实性的体现,从而颠覆帝国中心语言所体现的文化"真实性"和"中心性",达到重塑非洲文化身份和特征的目的。
In the novel Anthills of the Savannah, the author rewrites the metropolitan language --- English by directly using untranslated words of Igbo language, fusing the syntax of Igbo language into the lexical forms of English, and transcribing the English into dialect forms. Such rewriting has two purposes, one is to illustrate that the “english” he uses is “a new english” that is different from the standard English. The second is to declare that the use of vernacular, Igbo words and syntax themselves give expression to the African cultural authenticity. By appropriating and abrogating the privilege of the standard English, the author subverts the cultural “authenticity”and “centrality” that the standard English represents and achieves the purpose of reconstructing the African cultural identity.
