AB - This study compares the translating styles of “as if” constructions in multiple translator corpora, using text mining techniques. First, hierarchical cluster analysis and t-stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE) techniques were applied to the most common words in translations of “as if” constructions from a corpus of 11 English-Korean translations by three translators. The cluster analysis and t-SNE results established the presence of relative similarity/dissimilarity between each translator's works by visually presenting the relative distance between the texts. To further analyze which text is similar or dissimilar to which and to verify similarities in translations by the same individual translator, the study followed up with a chi-square test and correlation analysis. This paper then discusses translator-specific patterns in detail, accompanied by examples from each translator's texts. The results show that a multi-layered, quantitative analysis of translation patterns of “as if” constructions is a valid and effective method to identify a translator's style in literary translation.
