ample, the interpreting corpus can provide new materials andapproaches. The interpreting corpora can be used as the supplementary tools forteaching and training interpretation. Also, the corpora can provide strategic resourcesto the machine interpretation in the future. The corpus-based approaches used inlanguage analysis and research have been widely accepted by the researchers. Only byusing large-scale and objective language data can we get reasonable findings on theresearches of describing and analyzing a language phenomenon (Yang Huizhong,2002:54). After 50 years of development, especially in the process of coordinatingwith other relative disciplines, valuable experience has been accumulated in designing,building and maintaining modern corpora. The modern corpora have been used inmany researches. Among the modern corpora, parallel corpus and translational corpusboth involve two interconvert languages, thus the two corpora are closely related withinterpreting corpus studies. When an interpreting corpus is being built, the researcherscan learn a lot from the principles and techniques in building the two corpora above interms of sample selection policy, corpus representativeness, annotation methods,development and application of the search tools (Baker, 1995; Wang Kefei, 2004).

Chapter Four Analysis and Implications

Based on the research questions and the methods stated above, the results ofsimplification investigation will be firstly presented in this part for the two corpora.Then comparisons will be made between the two corpora in terms of the analysisindicators: TTR & STTR, lexical density, mean word length, mean sentence length,lexical difficulty analysis, list heads and norminalization.

4.1 Analysis Based on the Indicators

The present thesis tries to address the questions that whether the simplificationhypothesis can be supported by the Chinese students interpreting corpus and in whatway it is one of the “universals”. Therefore, the seven indicators will be used for theanalysis.Token is a language unit. Generally it can be considered as an individual word.The number of tokens semantically equals to the number of orthographic wordsexcept that an abbreviation is taken as two tokens. Type refers to the word form, thenumber of distinct words that occurs in texts. It means that repeated tokens can beonly considered as one type. For example, “I see a cat and a dog” contains seventokens but only six types (the type  a  occurs twice). Another example is from thepoem written by Gertrude Stein in 1913: “Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose.” In thissentence, there are 10 tokens but only three types(rose, is, a). TTR is the ratio betweenthe total types and tokens in a text. The TTR of the above poem line ist本论文由英语论文网提供整理，提供论文代写，英语论文代写，代写论文，代写英语论文，代写留学生论文，代写英文论文，留学生论文代写相关核心关键词搜索。
