Abstract:

Translations of Cervantes' Don Quijote (1605) take pride of place amongforeign literature in China. Despite the contrasts between the two culturesand the passage of four centuries the adventures and misadventures of theCastilian hero have always been popular with Chinese readers.In this book a corpus-based stylistic study is used to explore twocontemporary Mandarin Chinese translations of Don Quijote: those by YangJiang (1978) and Liu Jingsheng (1995). Utilising a micro-structuralperspective this study suggests explanations for the surprising popularityof Don Quijote in China.

Contents:- Construction of a Parallel Corpus of Don Quijote- Corpus Data Retrieval and Annotation- Phraseological Patterns in Yang's Translation- Phraseological Patterns in Liu's Translation- Use of Figurative/Archaic Idioms in the Two Translations- Quantitative Exploration of Style Variation in Liu's Translation.

The Author: Meng Ji has a Ph.D. from Imperial College London (2009) withinthe area of corpus-based translation studies focused on the study ofphraseology in literary translations into Chinese. She is presentlydeveloping an interdisciplinary approach to corpus-based translationstudies by integrating methodologies from disciplines including textualstatistics, quantitative sociolinguistics and computational stylometry.
