Lixin Wang, Dan Yang, Junguo Zhu · 2009
As for the poem translation, many eminent translators have put forward different arguments from various perspectives. To the diverse translations of a specific poem, it has been a question that how the exterior differences between them could be distinguished so as to bring about some definite and comprehended criteria for poem translation practice. This paper, collecting three English versions of "Yellow Crane Tower", a poem of Tang dynasty, applies the computational linguistic techniques available for a quantitative analysis. It attempts to provide a new perspective to explore the poem translation evaluation.
