ABSTRACT Translation theory and cases present to the Digital Humanities an interesting problem that fundamentally complicates text computing and challenges the flat dimensions of quantification. While distant reading, for example, in one language is relatively straightforward, computation across languages poses epistemo-semiotic challenges. What it is here to overcome, among other things, is technological conformism rooted in predominantly monolingual digital textual scholarship; disembodied textual ontologies that arise from some reductive forms of quantitative reading as well as the hierarchical discretization of a text; and, finally, thin computing that gratifies the notions of text as inscription rather than as experience, which echoes the problem raised by Geertz’s anthropological concept of ‘thick description’. By drawing on my research into the design of cross-linguistic distant reading and the modelling of repetition strings as equivalents of dynamic translatorial response, I will discuss a possibility of thick computing as suspended between textual surfaces and depths.

在表面和深度之间:迈向跨语言文本计算的具体本体

摘要 翻译理论和案例向数字人文学科提出了一个有趣的问题,该问题从根本上使文本计算复杂化并挑战了量化的平面维度。例如,虽然使用一种语言进行远距离阅读相对简单,但跨语言的计算会带来认识符号学上的挑战。在这里要克服的,除其他外,是植根于主要是单语数字文本学术的技术从众;由定量阅读的一些简化形式以及文本的分层离散化产生的脱离实体的文本本体;最后,薄计算满足了文本作为铭文而不是经验的概念,这与格尔茨人类学“厚描述”概念提出的问题相呼应。
