基于语料库的《一九八四》译者风格对比研究

A Corpus-based Contrastive Study of the Translators' Styles in Two Chinese Versions of Nineteen Eighty-Four

采用语料库语言学方法,基于自建语料库对《一九八四》董乐山和刘绍铭两个中译本的译者风格进行研究。运用定量和定性相结合的研究方法,通过对两个中译本的标准类符形符比、词表、平均词长和形合度四个方面的基本特征进行数据统计和定量分析,并在此基础上辅以实例进行对比评价和定性分析,进而揭示两位译者在词汇和句子层面不同的翻译风格。本研究为《一九八四》中译本的对比分析提供了新的研究视角。
