Abstract

Abstract Previous studies in corpus-based literary translation have tended to focus on only one or two specific aspects of style. In this study we expand the existing analytical paradigm to show how the style inherent in source texts (STs) is reflected in their translations. We do this using thirty-six multilevel linguistic features. The selected texts are James Joyce’s Dubliners and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and their Korean translations. We find that the general stylistic patterns in the STs are mirrored in the target texts (TTs) in terms of several linguistic measures, but that some aspects of style are not reflected in the TTs. The stylistic discrepancies between the STs and TTs may signify the translator’s strategic decisions to adhere to the target language (TL) norms and translation conventions as well as to preserve the style in the ST.

用多层次语言学方法分析文学翻译的语料库风格

以往基于语料库的文学翻译研究往往只关注文体的一个或两个方面。在本研究中，我们扩展了现有的分析范式，以展示源文本(STs)固有的风格如何在其翻译中得到反映。我们使用了36个多层次的语言特征。入选的文本是詹姆斯·乔伊斯的《都柏林人》和《青年艺术家肖像》及其韩文译本。我们发现，译文中的一般文体模式在几个语言尺度上反映在译文中，但风格的某些方面并没有反映在译文中。译语与译语之间的风格差异可能表明译者在遵守译语规范和翻译惯例的同时，也要保留译语的风格。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
