The Construction And Application Of Tourism Translation Corpus For MTI Students

In recent years,the increasingly frequent international exchanges and the continuous improvement of tourism policies have promoted the sustainable and rapid development of China's tourism industry.Meanwhile,the application of technologies such as Big Data,Cloud Computing and Internet of Things has correspondingly given birth to the smart tourism.The rapid growth of international tourism has been highlighting the importance of tourism translation and translators.At the same time,with substantial contents and effective channels,information delivery at the right time is crucial to enhance the tourism experience of inbound tourists,and corpus is one of the powerful platforms that can be used by people to provide information.Therefore,the combination of corpus and tourism translation is of great help to the cultivation of MTI students and the design of teaching practice.The thesis is divided into four main parts.The introduction mainly presents the research background and significance.Based on the literature review of the construction of tourism corpus and researches of MTI practices at home and abroad,Chapter One finds that deficiencies in current domestic and foreign researches still exist.These researches usually focus on the utility of one aspect while failing to combine tourism corpus with the application of MTI.Chapter Two systematically analyzes the designs of tourism corpus and integrates these designs with the research purpose.As two key parts of this paper,Chapter Three particularly dissects four aspects in constructing a tourism corpus,that is data collecting,corpus cleaning,corpus tagging and corpus alignment.Parting from the traditional corpus tagging form,this paper tags the rhetorical devices in tourism translation texts by manually labeling and coding for the first time.Based on three selfbuilt tourism corpora,Chapter Four makes a preliminary exploration of MTI curriculum design,researches on tourism translation and training for tourism industry: 1)the oneway and two-way interactive online curriculum design;2)the construction of tourism terminological database and the application of rhetorical devices;3)blueprints of tourism translation workshop platform and e-textbook APP based on self-built corpora.Finally,the paper summarizes the research results and briefly analyzes the trend of the combination of research application and technology.Taking corpus and tourism translation as the main research perspective,this thesis combines three self-built tourism corpora with application and exploration,and then makes blueprints of MTI curriculum design,researches on tourism translation and training for tourism industry to supplement new research directions and methods for the cultivation of MTI students and the practice of teaching activities in the new era from the perspective of corpus.
