AB - In this study, we examined the pattern of usage of the person deixis and social deixis in the translation of Chinese-Korean conversations. In translation work, “interpersonal equivalence” refers to capturing and understanding not only the direct visible meanings but also the interaction of the pragmatic elements appearing in the language environment. In the Chinese-Korean translation as well, it is necessary to pay attention to specific components such as person/social deixis as well as the characteristics of each language to achieve “interpersonal equivalence” between the source and target language texts. Since person/social deixis reflect the thoughts and values of the users and are deeply related to their cultural, social, and historical backgrounds, it is often difficult to find appropriate terms for translation. In particular, Korean person/social deixis, compared to their Chinese counterparts, are more instrumental in forming a new social relationship or identifying the difference in social status of the conversation participants, and accordingly, its pattern of usage is more complicated and diverse. To this end, we elaborated on the “Politeness Principle” and its subcategory, “face”. “Politeness Principle” refers to the speaker behaving and speaking as if they were in a lower position than the listener, while “face” represents a pragmatic strategy that considers factors, such as “social distance”, “social power”, and the “Ranking of imposition of the FTA”. It was revealed that the Korean language, unlike Chinese, complies with the “Politeness Principle” and “face” more strictly and systematically, with significant differences in the use of person/social deixis as well as other linguistic and cultural aspects.
