Abstract
As we note in the previous chapter, translational Chinese has shown some statistically distinct lexical features from non-translational Chinese as exemplified by lower lexical density (namely, smaller proportion of content words in relation to function words, which is usually taken as an indicator of the textual information load of a text or corpus), repetitive use of high-frequency words and extremely low-frequency words, preference for longer words, quantitative and qualitative differences in word clusters, etc. This chapter will demonstrate in greater detail the specific lexical features of translational Chinese ranging from part-of-speech distribution, keywords and key word classes to case studies on pronouns, conjunctions, idioms and reformulation markers.
