Abstract

The study is undertaken to find out the time functions and translation of Chinese particle le whose functions of the particle are analyzed from the perspectives of Cognitive Linguistics and Systemic-Functional Linguistics, and its translation methods are explored within the framework of Nida’s theory of “dynamic equivalence”. The present study is based on an online-corpus and conducts a comprehensive analysis of Chinese particle le. The main findings of the study are that the choice of translation methods of particle le largely depends on its specific functional analysis. This study is of significance to Chinese-English translation (especially that of particles) and teaching Chinese as a foreign language as well.
