Abstract:

Symbolic partialization is an important means to construct term motivation in term translation. Translators establish conceptual correspondence through symbolic correspondence and uses short form of meaning to arouse the cognitive subject’s perception of conceptual meaning, so as to construct term motivation. The short form of meaning should not only highlight the essential characteristics of the concept, but also take into account the systematicness of the concept. In practice, the problem of false correspondence of symbols should also be avoided.

Key words: symbolic partialization, motivation, term translation
