Abstract

Textless back translation is a new phenomenon of back translation, which refers to the process of translation of a text describing the content of the national culture without a specific original or a process of translating the original text into a foreign language. This study focuses on the study of this special type of translation and evaluates the translation process from a theoretical perspective. Guided by the theory of intertextuality translation, this paper adopts the categorization of explicit intertextuality (allusion, parody, hybridity and quotation) and structural intertextuality proposed by Fairclough, and discusses the cases in the context of textless translation in two parts. From the perspective of intertextuality and intercultuality, this paper tries to verify the theoretical conception of textless back translation, including the standard of language, style standard and cultural standard, as well as the ultimate model of textless back translation.
