Title A Correlative Approach to the Translated Names of China’s Higher Education Institutions
Abstract
In 1991, Peter Newmark carries out the re-assessment of communicative translation and semantic translation that he has proposed before. Finally, he proposes the new theory—a correlative approach to translation in 1994. Since China has become more and more international, the China’s higher education institutions have been emphasized. Thus, their translated names are under scrutiny. However, the English names of these institutions are in a chaotic phenomenon for a long time, and this problem has not been solved effectively and efficiently until now. This thesis discusses the translated names of China’s higher education institutions, focusing on the translations of “university”, “college”, and “institute”, and some solutions will come up in order that the readers would get equivalent information and comprehend the type of the institutions correctly when they read the translated names.

1 Introduction
1.1 Research Background
Since China has become more and more international in recent years, the China’s higher education institutions have been emphasized. Thus, the translations of their names are under scrutiny. However, the English names of these institutions are in a chaotic phenomenon for a long time, and this problem has not been solved effectively and efficiently until now. At the same time, few predecessors’ research has studied from a view angle of translation theory.
This paper discusses the translations of the names of China’s higher education institutions. Some representative English names of these institutions will be chosen for careful analysis. Through investigating their histories and research directions—science, technology, arts and so on, some solutions will come up from the perspective of Newmark’s correlative approach to translation.
What’s more, Peter Newmark (1991) carries out the re-assessment of communicative translation and semantic translation that he proposes before. Finally, he proposes the theory--correlative approach to translation. Because this translation theory is based on a large amount of translation practice and teaching practice, it has a significant impact on translation circles. However, almost all of the papers focus on Peter Newmark’s communicative translation and semantic translation, and these two translation theories are sublimated by Newmark himself later.
