초록

This study facilitates text mining analytics to compare and analyze lexical differences between the children's (2005) and the adult's (2000) translation of Jane Eyre from English to Korean. Through the present research, we find out the following results: First, regarding pronoun usage, the children's version frequently reiterates a person’s names, resulting in a higher frequency of proper nouns. On contrary, the adult version uses more pronouns to refer a person, presumably aiming to enhance comprehension for children by explicitly using specific names, while adults are assumed to employ pronouns for referents. Second, in terms of Chinese character usage, the adult version utilizes around 230 characters, while the children's version abstains from their use. This suggests that the children's version excludes Chinese characters to facilitate comprehension, while the adult version actively employs them to diversify the lexicon. Last, concerning foreign language usage, the adult version integrates French, corresponding to English, alongside Korean. In contrast, the children's version exclusively uses Korean. This can be interpreted as an effort in the children's version to enhance comprehension by excluding foreign languages, while the adult version seeks to increase linguistic diversity by combining Chinese characters and foreign languages. These findings underscore variations in style and language choices across different translations of Jane Eyre and emphasize the importance of employing suitable translation strategies tailored to a reader’s age and comprehension levels.
