A visual Representation of Wittgenstein’s Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, including the Chinese, Korean and Japanese Translation
In this paper, we added Chinese, Japanese and Korean translations of Wittgenstein’s Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus to the Tractatus Network which was created by Anca Bucur and Sergiu Nisioi in 2016. We have also analyzed datasets by that network visualization, comparative listing of proposition distances, and calculating mean squared deviation and mean difference. Through this, we have found that for some proposition pairs, there are large difference among translations. Furthermore, in the process of analyzing the Korean translations, it was observed that the settings of stopwords significantly influence the analysis. The methodology for optimizing stopwords for this analysis was established, which also enabled us to investigate the characteristics of the translations more deeply.
