Abstract:

Corpus stylistics enables systematic investigation of stylistic features through quantitative methods,yet its application in machine translation studies remains underexplored.This study addresses this gap by compiling a comparable corpus of human and machine-translated Chinese prose.A multidimensional analysis identifies distinct strengths and limitations in human and machine translations,supported by statistical data and textual comparisons.Applying Actor-Network Theory,the research examines human-machine interaction patterns in translation processes,aiming to promote the spread of excellent Chinese prose more effectively.

Key words: corpus stylistics, prose translation, machine translation, actor-network theory
