语料库、统计学与文体分析

在语料库真正发展之前,对文体的研究主要是质的分析。这种方法虽然能对文体做出细致的分析,但对各项文体标志的频率等方面的认识无疑是主观的。语料库语言学和现代语言统计理论的发展促进了文体分析的发展。以语料库为依据,通过计算机语言处理软件,对语料进行对比分析和统计测试的方法被引入文体分析之中,这使我们能更直观、更清楚地认识各种语域变体的特点。对我们了解文体本身、研究文体特征及开展这方面的语言教学都有着重要的现实意义。

Corpus, statistics and stylistic analysis

Before the real development of corpus,studies in stylistics is mainly qualitative.Although this approach can make detail analyses of styles,there is no doubt that the recognition of frequencies is subjective which are the marks of diverse styles.The development of corpus linguistics and modern statistical theories accelerates the growth of stylistic analysis.The method is introduced into stylistic analysis which compares and tests the materials through computer software based on corpus.It makes more direct and clearer observations on features of language varieties.It is of great significance for perceiving styles,studying stylistic features and performing language teachings.
