The results revealed seven categories of extended answers, with explanations for diseases and treatments being the most frequent at 39 %. Proposals for medical treatment had a proportion at 29 %. The remaining categories had lower rates ranging from 3 % to 9 %. The corpus derived four types of communication strategies: baldly on-record strategies (BORSs), positive politeness strategies (PPSs), negative politeness strategies (NPSs), and off-record strategies (ORSs), with NPSs being the most commonly used at 84 %. Except ORSs, these strategies encompassed multiple classes, with NPSs having as much as seven categories, in which offering justifications for definitive minimal responses was the most prevalent at 33 %. Making fuzzy proposals had a share of 32 %. Each of the remaining categories made up a far low rate. But when it comes to the specific category of extended answers, the most commonly used strategy in it is not always the one from NPSs. The study underscores the significance of clear explanations and justifications in teleconsultations. Implications for training programs in teleconsultation settings are discussed, with potential areas for further research suggested to enhance teleconsultation practices.","PeriodicalId":474295,"journal":{"name":"Corpus-based Studies across Humanities","volume":"15 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141926036","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the digital era, advancements in Artificial Intelligence and big data offer innovative modes of translation and mediation, enhancing the content and diversifying channels through which Chinese museum culture is presented globally. Museum culture display embodies a multimodal discourse, primarily reliant on imagery within its information system. This study explores the integration of new technologies to facilitate multimodal mediation in the translation and communication of Chinese museum culture. The investigation involves an in-depth analysis of human–computer interaction guidelines, precise service delivery based on machine learning, and relevant Artificial Intelligence corpora. The research demonstrates how Artificial Intelligence mediation can promote the multimodal translation and communication of diverse aspects of Chinese museum cultures. Specifically, it highlights three key approaches based on specific usage scenarios and objectives, including a chatbot designed for smaller indoor spaces such as museums, emphasizing on-site interactive experiences; new media and big data applications tailored for large outdoor cultural and educational venues, prioritizing tour experiences and visitor engagement; and online VR/AR experiential facilities serving remote visitors unable to physically visit cultural and educational sites. The integration of Artificial Intelligence aims to realize multilingual and multidimensional mediation, enriching the expression of Chinese museum culture by rendering abstract content visually, animating text, and augmenting images, allowing the audience to fully engage with China’s cultural heritage through auditory, visual, olfactory, and tactile sensory experiences. This research aims to offer valuable insights to museums and relevant government tourism management agencies, contributing to an improved translation and communication impact of Chinese museum culture.","PeriodicalId":474295,"journal":{"name":"Corpus-based Studies across Humanities","volume":"68 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139613382","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On the surface, the phrase may seem to indicate negative perceptions of translation practice. However, a study of several hundred occurrences of the cliché paints a more complex picture involving a variety of communicative practices and settings. Many occurrences of the phrase address, for instance, broader issues of cultural and interpersonal misunderstanding. In such cases, the perceived failure to establish a meaningful connection can often be ascribed to the absence of attempts at mediation or transmission, thus signalling recognition that the greatest losses occur not because of, but by lack of translation. In addition, the data indicate that lost in translation’s varied usage patterns can be understood in terms of two competing metaphorical frames, namely one of transportation and one of orientation: in translation, one can lose something, but one can just as well get lost. The implications of both metaphorical mappings are further addressed with reference to the issue of visibility, and to discussions about the proper scope of translation studies research.","PeriodicalId":474295,"journal":{"name":"Corpus-based Studies across Humanities","volume":"43 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139528050","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the past 40 years, China has made great achievements in poverty alleviation which arouses the media interest across the world. This article examines how People’s Daily reported China’s poverty alleviation from the beginning of China’s reform and opening up in 1978–2020, particularly with regard to the interaction between discourse and social practice. Through corpus-based discourse analysis, it has found that, first, the number of the reports changed with the process of poverty alleviation and the national policies. Second, it has shown differences in lexical choices in different periods, with an overall shift from the agricultural reform and economic investment to education, culture and ecology poverty alleviation; third, China’s involvement in the world’s poverty alleviation causes changed from initially seeking help to gradually becoming a leading voice calling for cooperation and offering aid for other countries. The findings reveal that there is a strong correlation between the discourse and social change: the social context is echoed in the discourse features in different periods; meanwhile, news discourse also plays a positive role in publicizing the Chinese government’s achievements and promoting the process of poverty alleviation.","PeriodicalId":474295,"journal":{"name":"Corpus-based Studies across Humanities","volume":"9 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139437761","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Text classification is pivotal today due to a wide range of digital documents. Multiple feature classes have been proposed for classification by numerous researchers. Genre classification tasks form the basis for advanced techniques such as native language identification, readability assessment, author identification etc. These tasks are based on the linguistic composition and complexity of the text. Rather than extracting hundreds of variables, a simple premise of text classification using only the text feature of parts-of-speech (PoS) is presented here. A new dataset gathered from Project Gutenberg is highlighted in this study. PoS analysis of each text in the created dataset was carried out. Further grouping of these texts into fictional and non-fictional texts was carried out to measure their classification accuracy using the artificial neural networks (ANN) classifier. The results indicate an overall classification accuracy of 98 and 35 % for the genre and sub-genre classification, respectively. The results of the present study highlight the importance of PoS not only as an important feature for text processing but also as a sole text feature classifier for text classification.","PeriodicalId":474295,"journal":{"name":"Corpus-based Studies across Humanities","volume":"66 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138950677","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It draws on insights from local grammar research, as local grammars have been shown to be able to reliably quantify the lexicogrammatical realisations of a given communicative or discourse act. Using L1 Chinese English-major students’ MA and PhD degree dissertations as the data, the investigation shows that, although their overall use of exemplification remained steady from MA to PhD levels of study, there are significant differences with regard to their preference of exemplifying strategies as well as their lexicogrammatical choices they used to realise exemplification. The study not only has implications for academic writing research, assessment and pedagogy, but also offers a useful methodological approach to longitudinal investigation into EFL learners’ development of communicative competence in academic context.","PeriodicalId":474295,"journal":{"name":"Corpus-based Studies across Humanities","volume":"19 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138952794","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
