Corpus based study on translator's style
Based on a parrallell-corpus of Peter Pan consisting of the original text, Ren Rongrong’s translations and Yang Jingyuan’s translations, the study utilizes tools such as Python, CRIE, Emeditor and ABBYY Aligner to compare 17 linguistic structures of the human translations with machine translations. This study reveals that the two human translations have shown different styles. Ren Rongrong's translation is concise in language, full of rhythm, and less difficult to read, while Yang Jingyuan's translation is rich in language and fluent in text.
