A Computer-Assisted Study of the Vocabulary of the Early Modern English Biblical Translations

1994年，为了进行初步研究，研究人员访问了几个拥有早期现代英语圣经翻译版本和专著的图书馆，以便获得它们的复印件。他还编辑了电子版的《致罗马人的书信》（1526）和威廉·廷代尔（William Tyndale）的《马太福音》（1525）的片段。在研究过程中，他发现了廷代尔对词汇的一些特殊用法，并在一篇名为《新生代自译同义词对的起源与谱系》的文章中报道了这一点。1995年，他在日本英语文学协会第67届会议上发表了一篇题为《世界的起源和血统》的论文《在英语圣经的授权版本中看到》。他还按字母顺序列出了《牛津英语词典》中引用廷代尔语录的标题词。他为《崛起的一代》的“海外新趋势”专栏写了四篇文章，报道了英国英语圣经研究的进展。1996年，他发表了一篇文章《The Origin and Lineage of The world屹立于The Authorized Version of The English Bible》》。他还发现，韦斯利（Wesley， 1770年）和诺亚·韦伯斯特（Noah Webster， 1833年）在后来的两个英文版《圣经》版本中使用了“当世界还在”这一表达。在三年的助学金任期内，他取得了良好的成绩，发表了十篇关于英国圣经和牛津英语词典的文章。他计划将上述文章的英文版发表在《廷代尔学会》杂志上。

In 1994 for the preliminary research, the researcher visited several libraries which possess the editions of and monographs on Early Modern English Biblical translations in order to get photocopies of them. And he edited an electric text of The Pistle unto the Romans (1526) and the fragment of The Gospel of S.Mathew (1525) by William Tyndale from the facsimile editions. In the course of the work he found some peculiar use of words by Tyndale, which he reported in an article 'The Origin and Lineage of Self-Interpreting Pair of Synonyms' on The Rising Generation.In 1995 he read a paper 'The Origin and Lineage of the expression 'while the world standeth' seen in The Authorized Version of the English Bible' at the 67th conference of The English Literary Society of Japan. And he built an alphabetical list of the headwords in The Oxford English Dictionary for which quotations from Tyndale appear. He wrote four articles for the column 'the new trend abroad' on The Rising Generation, reporting what is in progress in the study of the English Bible in the United Kingdom.In 1996 he published an article 'The Origin and Lineage of the expression 'while the world standeth' seen in The Authorized Version of the English Bible'. And he found that the expression 'while the world standeth' is passed on to the two later editions of the English Bible by Wesley (1770) and Noah Webster (1833), making use of Bible in English on CD-Rom.In the three-year term for Grant-In-Aid he has achieved good results, publishing ten articles on the English Bible and The Oxford English Dictionary. He is planning to contribute an English version of the article mentioned above to the journal of The Tyndale Society.
