本文运用数字人文科学的研究方法，从可读性视角对中译外国家翻译实践英译文本进行了计量风格考察。本研究所用的观察语料为中华学术外译英译文本。研究表明，在MWL、ASW、MSL、PWP、HWP和NOSW等指标上，中译外国家翻译实践中华学术外译英译文本难于原创英语学术文本。回归分析显示中华学术外译英译文本与参照语料库文本的差异主要在词汇层面。基于Python的文本可读性计量工具Textstat分析结果显示，中华学术外译英译文本在Kincaid_Grade、Dale-Chall和SMOG三种可读性指标上的值分别为13.49、10.40、15.00，高于参照语料库的值13.17、9.34、14.74，表明理解中华学术外译英译文本需要接受更多教育，即中华学术外译英译文本的阅读难度大于参照语料库，可读性低于...

The present study conducts a quantitative analysis of the English translations in the context of state translation programs translated from Chinese into foreign languages from the perspective of syntactic complexity, with a focus on the syntactic features of the English translated texts of Chinese academic works. The research finds that the English...

Dependency distance (DD) is an important factor in language processing and can affect the ease with which a sentence is understood. Previous studies have investigated the role of DD in L2 writing, but little is known about how the native language influences DD in L2 academic writing. This study is probably the first one that investigates, though a...

The word order of different language types has different syntactic arrangement. Under the framework of dependency syntax, the change of constituent position in a sentence directly affects the size of dependency distance. Based on the general rule of word order in different language types, this paper makes a quantitative analysis of the reasons from...

Representation of linguistic knowledge is one of the keys to helping machines understand natural languages. This paper follows the idea from linguistic data to linguistic knowledge and to knowledge representation. At the syntactic level, the syntactic structure and its variants in the corpus are summarized, and the syntactic functions undertaken by...

Frame Semantics and the FrameNet are known as an example of a semantic theory model supporting large engineering projects of knowledge representation and maintaining a long-term vitality. At the same time, the initial goal of FrameNet is to build a large online computational dictionary, so the semantic frames are lacking in systematicness and hiera...

The problem of WordNet-based ontology construction was widely investigated and many effective methods have been proposed in China. The utilizations of the hierarchy structure of WordNet, the digraph structure of WordNet and auxiliary resources are main measures in the methods. Usually, the methods are facing three fundamental difficulties, the comp...

The study of semantic role labeling is a hotspot in the field of Natural Language Processing. This paper, together with rationalism and empiricism, with the principle of pragmatism, from the perspective of semantic information processing, poses an approach to label the semantic role of Korean. The approach theoretically based on the level-framework...

The verbpsilas properties determine the number and property of the semantic elements under its control. Meanwhile, such properties also confine the projecting position of these elements in syntactic structures. The semantics of a verb is determined by the set of semantic features of its components. In the present article, 23 semantic features are p...

In this paper, we will try to provide a unified approach to Chinese classifiers and the number system in English. It is argued that the former and the latter are actually two different components of the same linguistic category, serving to divide inherently mass nouns selected from the lexicon into countable units. As a result, numerals can be merg...

Knowledge is most often and directly expressed with natural language. Therefore, the representation and acquisition of knowledge play a key role in studies on information processing and natural language interpretation. Also, they are the principal issues in establishing a knowledge database. Only highly formalized descriptive systems or knowledge d...

In any NLP systems, including that of MT, syntactic and semantic information dictionary is an essential component. Based on the achievements in semantic project studies both at home and abroad, the present paper provides an integrative description of the syntax and semantics of Korean predicates, with an aim to construct an information-processing-o...
