Know about the book -

Corpus-Based Studies of Translational Chinese in English-Chinese Translation is written by Richard Xiao and published by Springer. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 3642413633 (ISBN 10) and 9783642413636 (ISBN 13).

This book takes a corpus-based approach, which integrates translation studies and contrastive analysis, to the study of translational language. It presents the world’s first balanced corpus of translational Chinese, which, in combination with a comparable native Chinese corpus, provides a reliable empirical basis for a comprehensive account of the macro-statistic, lexical, and grammatical features of translational Chinese in English-to-Chinese translation – a significant contribution to Descriptive Translation Studies. The research findings based on these two distinctly different languages have important implications for universal translation research on the European tradition.
