This chapter investigates translator functional styles through textual panorama building using quantitative corpus stylistic methods. It employs Principal Component Analysis (PCA) on Most Frequent Words (MFW) and Most Frequent Word Sequences (MFWS), plus Multidimensional Analysis (MDA) on Biber’s six dimensions. Results reveal translator differences in rendering figure labels, using auxiliary/modal verbs, employing body language words, and handling contractions. PCA shows varying metric distances between translations, while MDA indicates different readability levels and genre preferences. The analysis demonstrates how translators create distinct textual panoramas through diverse approaches to word frequencies, stylistic features, and discourse dimensions, revealing functional styles in textual function construction.

摘要

This chapter investigates translator functional styles through textual panorama building using quantitative corpus stylistic methods. It employs Principal Component Analysis (PCA) on Most Frequent Words (MFW) and Most Frequent Word Sequences (MFWS), plus Multidimensional Analysis (MDA) on Biber’s six dimensions. Results reveal translator differences in rendering figure labels, using auxiliary/modal verbs, employing body language words, and handling contractions. PCA shows varying metric distances between translations, while MDA indicates different readability levels and genre preferences. The analysis demonstrates how translators create distinct textual panoramas through diverse approaches to word frequencies, stylistic features, and discourse dimensions, revealing functional styles in textual function construction.
