Journal of Chinese for Social Science Volume 2

The Journal of Chinese for Social Science (JCSS, Chinese edition) focuses on the contextual application of Chinese in social sciences, emphasizing the importance and challenges of translated texts and language use. The journal, incorporating bilingual elements in Chinese and English, includes sections on reading, writing, and translation. Achieving conceptual equivalence between English and Chinese is especially challenging in social scientific research, often conducted across different languages, cultures, and societies. Typically, research is published in the researcher's non-native language, necessitating careful translation to avoid cross-cultural communication risks. JCSS addresses these challenges by fostering dialogue among languages, cultures, and communities, highlighting translation issues and engaging in intercultural communication. It also discusses the role of translation in potentially reinforcing an Orientalized Chinese identity and strives to contextualize terms and concepts to enhance dialogue and idea exchange.

'Chinese for Social Science' falls under 'Chinese for Specific Purposes' (CSP), similar to 'Chinese for Science and Technology' or 'Business Chinese'. This concept was initially developed by Global China Academy (GCA), which hosts Global China Dialogue conferences, attracting participants from diverse institutions worldwide. These conferences and publications by Century Global Publishing, an arm of GCA, support intercultural dialogue by providing platforms for the translation of social science terminologies and concepts, thus facilitating the sharing of ideas and research findings globally.

《社会科学汉语研究期刊》（JCSS，中文版）专注于汉语在社会科学中的语境应用，强调翻译文本和语言使用的重要性与挑战。该期刊包含中英双语元素，包括阅读、写作和翻译几个部分。在社会科学研究中，特别是跨越不同语言、文化和社会进行的研究，实现英汉之间的概念等价性尤为困难。通常情况下，研究成果以研究者的非母语发布，需要精确翻译以避免跨文化交流的风险。《社会科学汉语研究期刊》通过促进语言、文化和社群之间的对话来应对这些挑战，强调翻译问题，并参与跨文化交流。它还讨论翻译在可能强化东方化的中国身份中的作用，并努力将术语和概念置于语境中，以增强对话和思想交流。

"社会科学汉语"属于"特定用途汉语"（CSP），类似于"科技汉语"或"商务汉语"。这一概念最初由全球中国学术院（GCA）开发。GCA举办的全球中国对话会议吸引了来自世界各地不同机构的参与者。这些会议以及世纪环球出版社的出版物，作为GCA的一个分支，支持跨文化对话，为社会科学术语和概念的翻译提供平台，从而促进全球范围内的思想和研究成果的共享。
