摘要

抽象英语作为第二语言（ESL）的学生通常被要求阅读和使用《圣经》的英文译本用于学术和崇拜目的。本研究的目的是使用定量文本挖掘分析工具，从每一个译本的形式性、可读性和情感性方面探讨詹姆斯国王译本和新国际译本的写作风格。结果表明，与NIV相比，KJV使用了更正式的语言，具有更高的可读性等级，并且使用了稍微更积极的措辞。此外，在这两个译本中，《旧约》在情感方面都比《新约》负面得多。最后，两个译本的可读性和形式性之间存在适度的正相关关系。

Text Mining Analysis of the King James Version & New International Version: Concerns and Implications for ESL Readers

Abstract English as a Second Language (ESL) students are often expected to read and use English translations of the Bible for academic and worship purposes. The purpose of this study was to explore the writing style of the King James Version and the New International Version in terms of each translation’s formality, readability, and sentiment using quantitative text mining analysis tools. Results indicated that the KJV used more formal language, had a higher grade level of readability and used slightly more positive wording than the NIV. In addition, for both translations the Old Testament was much more negative in terms of sentiment than the New Testament. Lastly, a moderate positive relationship was found between readability and formality for both translations.
