Abstract

Linguistic philosophy is the most important theory source in the study of linguistics. A language-game is a famous philosophical concept developed by Ludwig Wittgenstein and Friedrich Waismann. Wittgenstein’s late philosophy theories focus on the essence of language function—communication, i.e. the famous language-game theory which emphasizes the uncertainty of language. The thesis explicates the basic concept of language-game in translation, which guides the translation practice on English for Textile Science and Technology by combining the Game Rules with Complete Translation Strategy.
