Detecting Syntactic Features of Translated Chinese
Table 1: Distribution of texts across genres
['# texts', 'news', 'general prose', 'science', 'fiction', 'total']
We use the comparable corpus by Xiao and Hu All texts are of similar lengths (~2000 words), and from different genres. We exclude texts from the second-level categories “science fiction” and “humor” (both under fiction) since they only have 6 and 9 texts respectively, which is not enough for a classification task.
