| Description: |
This book provides a corpus of translational Chinese which, with a comparable native Chinese corpus, offers a basis for a comprehensive account of the macro-statistic, lexical and grammatical features of translational Chinese in English-to-Chinese translation. |
| Synopsis: |
This book takes a corpus-based approach, which integrates translation studies and contrastive analysis, to the study of translational language. It presents the world's first balanced corpus of translational Chinese, which, in combination with a comparable native Chinese corpus, provides a reliable empirical basis for a comprehensive account of the macro-statistic, lexical, and grammatical features of translational Chinese in English-to-Chinese translation - a significant contribution to Descriptive Translation Studies. The research findings based on these two distinctly different languages have important implications for universal translation research on the European tradition. |
