Abstract:As a key focus of modern linguistic and systematic functional research, discourse anaphora is one of the most important ways of textual cohesion which stresses the interaction between sentences in the text. Verbs are a key issue worth studying as Chinese is a verb-prominent language. One of the three books on the wars, the Art of War is a gem in the Chinese military heritage with profound ideas and meticulous logic. The verbal anaphora in the book is striking and unique besides the philosophical ideas and military strategy. Focusing on the verbal anaphora, this paper has a comparison and descriptive study on six authoritative versions of The Art of War through the analysis verbs in the book to summarize the translation strategies of verbal anaphora in classical Chinese. ? 2013 ACADEMY PUBLISHER Manufactured in Finland.
