《翻译的修辞符号视角研究》在构建修辞符号学理论的基础上，在现有的翻译理论框架下探讨修辞符号学视角的翻译研究，《翻译的修辞符号视角研究》旨在解决翻译的符号意义问题，演示修辞符号学如何为符合的翻译建立逻辑范式，由此阐释两种语言系统和文化之间符号翻译中的意义缺失。

翻译是把一种语言承载的信息用另一种语言表达出来。现代语言学为翻译和翻译活动提供了比较科学的理论基础。目前大量的翻译研究都将翻译纳入语言学的范畴内，聚焦于语音学、形态学和句法学的层面。基于此，本书构建了翻译的修辞符号学视角研究，以打破翻译研究的这一局限性，并论证了其作为一个崭新的突破性的方法在解释长期以来关于翻译等效、直译与意译、归化与异化的争论中的优越性，阐明了修辞符号意义在翻译中的传递。
