项目摘要

The aim of this research project was to develop a novel World_Wide_Web system to assist Japanese researchers in writing English research papers. To accomplish this, we first compiled an English corpus consisting of scientific papers relating mainly to life sciences and principally written by native speakers of English. The corpus now contains more than 30,000,000 running words.A statistical analysis of the corpus enabled us to obtain information on which particular words or phrases occur frequently and which words commonly collocate with a given word. Japanese scientists have long wanted to have access to this kind of information so as to avoid deviating from the linguistic conventions observed by native speakers in writing English. The system developed in our project provides users with useful information on concordances and collocations for almost each and every word with just a click of a mouse button, as long as the word retrieved is contained in the corpus.Most Japanese researchers lack native-like intuition in using English, which has resulted in awkward expressions such as 'high possibility' or 'may probably.' However, now that the system is widely available to the public on the Internet, they can refer to it whenever they need to confirm the naturalness of a particular combination of English words instead of simply relying on their own non-native-like intuitions. This should thereby help to lessen the burden on non-native speakers of English (such as Japanese researchers) when writing research papers in English.

本研究项目的目的是开发一个新的万维网系统，以帮助日本研究人员撰写英文研究论文。为了实现这一目标，我们首先编制了一个英语语料库，其中包括主要与生命科学有关的科学论文，主要由英语母语者撰写。该语料库目前包含3000多万个连续词，通过对语料库的统计分析，我们可以获得哪些特定的词或短语经常出现以及哪些词通常与给定的词搭配的信息。日本科学家长期以来一直希望能够获得这类信息，以避免偏离母语人士在写作英语时所遵循的语言惯例。本项目开发的系统为用户提供了几乎每个词的一致性和搭配的有用信息，只要检索到的词包含在语料库中，只需点击鼠标按钮。大多数日本研究人员在使用英语时缺乏母语般的直觉，这导致了尴尬的表达，如“高可能性”或“可能很可能”。“然而，现在该系统在互联网上广泛提供给公众，他们可以在需要确认特定英语单词组合的自然性时参考它，而不是简单地依赖于自己的非母语直觉。因此，这将有助于减轻非英语母语者（如日本研究人员）在用英语撰写研究论文时的负担。
