Title: On Degree Zero Deviation and Its Application to Translation Studies
Abstract: As important notions in the fields of linguistics and rhetoric, rhetoric degree zero and deviation help realize the scientific studies in the two fields mentioned and hence under focus. Being a pair of dialectical ideas, they map the relationship of norms and deviations. Borrowing the theoretical framework from the field of rhetoric, this paper aims to analyze the tension between perfect translation and translation deviation. We argue that, being a study of transformation, translation studies are sure to mean the transformation of all kinds of transgressions and also the transformation between perfect translation and translation deviation. The dynamic transformation between perfect translation and translation deviation works in the very way that a matrix does.
