Semantic Prosody, Report of the 19th National Congress, TranslationAbstract
Semantic prosody has become a research hotspot among domestic scholars. The repeated use of words forms habitual collocations, which in turn endows words with a consistent tone, thus creating semantic prosody. This paper compares and analyzes some vocabulary in the original text and the translation of the Report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, using a corpus to determine their semantic tendencies and the corresponding relationships of semantic prosody. The study explores the impact of semantic prosody on translation.
