基于平行语料库的人称代词显化研究_英语论文

Personal Pronoun Explicitation in C-E Translation：A Corpus-based Study of Selected Works of Classical Chinese Prose

摘要

从人称代词显化的角度出发，借助Transmate、SDL对齐工具以及Paraconc和AntConc索引软件，自建《中国经典散文选》、《家》、《政府工作报告》(2010-2016)和《中国国防白皮书》(2008-2016) 四个小型汉英翻译平行语料库，对原文及其译文进行考察。通过对比研究发现：（1）翻译文本中的人称代词使用频率明显高于原文；（2）文体对整体人称代词显化影响不大，但对具体人称代词显化程度有一定影响。论文最后对影响显化的各种因素进行了分析。

Abstract

Based on the four self-built parallel corpora (Reports on the Work of the Government 2010-2016, China’s National Defense 2008-2016, The Family and Selected Works of Classical Chinese Prose), and by means of Transmate, SDL alignment tools, Paraconc and AntConc concordance software, the research makes a contrastive study of the personal pronoun explicitation, discovering that: (1) The frequency of personal pronouns in TL is higher than that in SL; (2) Among different styles, the overall personal pronouns are not significantly affected, but the specific personal pronouns are affected. After that, the research analyzes the causes in detail. 

Key words：parallel corpus; personal pronoun; explicitation; contrastive analysis
