Abstract

In this chapter, we will investigate the macro-statistic features of translational Chinese based on contrastive analyses of the corpus of translational Chinese (ZCTC) and the corpus of non-translational or native Chinese (LCMC). These macro-statistic linguistic features involve a wide range of corpus linguistic parameters, such as lexical density, textual information load, high-frequency words, low-frequency words, average word length, average sentence length, average sentence segment length, average paragraph length and word clusters, which will be analysed and discussed in detail in the following sections.
