Les études de traduction doivent viser à devenir une science comportementale. Autrement dit, la recherche de la méthodologie de traduction ou la présentation de la théorie de traduction aura une signification seulement si elle est capable de remplir le rôle auxiliaire à l’activité de traduction. Ainsi les études de traduction chercheront à soulever les questions liées aux travaux de traduction et y proposer des solutions.
C’est donc dans ce contexte que cette thèse propose de présenter une méthodologie qui pourra être appliquée à l’interprétation et à la traduction du coréen et du chinois — deux langues qui utilisent en commun les caractères chinois — en soulevant les difficultés qui existent, en les classifiant et en les conceptualisant. Pour cela, en se basant sur les nombreux textes de conférence, les difficultés de traduction dues à l’usage des lettres chinoises ont été traitées en profondeur à travers: (1) l’analyse de la déverbalisation, (2) la compréhension et la reproduction du texte langue, et (3) la redéfinition du nom propre. A partir de cette analyse, cette thèse élabore une stratégie pour exclure toute intervention de la culture linguistique à travers: (1) la traduction basée sur une connaissance correcte, (2) l’amélioration de la capacité linguistique, (3) l’établissement de la terminologie spécialisée, et (4) l’approche éducative.
