A SURVEY OF THE ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF SONG CI POETRY FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF MULTIMODAL DISCOURSE ANALYSIS

Shuyue Zhang, Feng Wang

Abstract


The rapid development of modern science and technology and the innovation of human communication methods have made multimodal discourse research a hot topic in current interdisciplinary research. Based on the domestic and international research, this study describes the development of multimodal discourse analysis (MDA) theory, the characteristics of the English translation of Song Ci poetry and its shortcomings. It points out that the MDA theory should be combined into the English translation of Song Ci poetry in future research to promote the spread of Chinese traditional culture.
