MA MA Dissertation of Chongqing University ABSTRACT PAGE PAGE IV transformation; iii) acceptable but marked translation with inadequate transformation; and iv) unmarked translation with adequate syntactic transformation. Moreover, some principles other than the iconicity-based principles which will also influence the rearrangement of sentence structures in translation are taken into consideration as well. The author has made a complementary analysis on three other principles to further explain the rationale of transformation in translation. It is of great importance for this paper to provide well-founded guidance for translation practice and teaching process. Key words: iconicity, syntactic iconicity, transformation, justification.
