Seeing various adventures through a mirror: Detecting translator's stylistic visibility in Chinese translations of Alice's Adventure in Wonderland.

This article investigates the visibility of translator's style by comparing three Chinese translations of Lewis Carroll’s *Alice’s Adventure in Wonderland* using stylometric techniques based on part-of-speech (POS) tags. The study finds that all three translations preserve the original text’s style, aligning with the fiction genre, and that individual translator styles are not distinguishable when considering the entire set of POS tags. However, by applying a chi-square feature selection method to identify the top fifteen distinctive POS unigrams and bigrams, the researchers successfully detected stylistic differences among the translators, with POS bigrams providing clearer distinctions. These results suggest that while translators generally maintain the original style, their unique stylistic choices emerge through distinctive linguistic features, highlighting the importance of feature selection in stylometric analysis of translation.
