The Chicago guide to copyediting fiction
\"Although The Chicago Manual of Style is widely used by writers and editors of all stripes, it is primarily geared toward nonfiction. In this book, Amy J. Schneider--who has copyedited fiction in all genres, from mystery and romance to literary fiction, including many bestsellers--provides a companion to the Manual for those working on fiction. Hers is the first guide designed specifically for this major segment of the editorial community. Schneider highlights and offers advice on issues unique to fiction, such as how to deal with various types of dialogue and when incomplete and ungrammatical sentences are acceptable. She discusses best practices for conscious language issues that are increasingly important to authors, publishers, and readers. She also explains the larger purpose and vastly expanded scope of style sheets in editing fiction, illustrating how to track the details of fictional characters, places, and events to ensure continuity across a work or a series. And she covers workflow and administrative practices that work well for the fiction editing process, based on her own 25 years of experience as a freelancer working for publishers large and small\"-- Provided by publisher.

Identifying MT Errors for Higher-Quality Target Language Writing
Second language education has arrived at a phase of proposing effective uses of neural machine translation (NMT). Previous research has explored various aspects of post-editing and suggested that it is crucial to manually edit NMT output to produce better target language (TL) texts. The purpose of this study was to identify NMT errors in output text, so that Japanese TL (English) learners can recognize what to be aware of. The study targeted the NMT output from Japanese-written academic reports, pre-edited by 73 Japanese students with intermediate TL proficiency. The data was analysed and primarily lexical and grammatical issues were detected and systematically classified. Results showed that the use of inappropriate TL vocabulary was the most frequent error, followed by misuse or lack of determiners. Some could be avoided in a pre-editing phase by carefully choosing precise source-language (SL) vocabulary or reducing SL ambiguity, while others required a deeper understanding of TL syntactic rules or the nuance of TL vocabulary. TL Learners need to raise their awareness of these NMT errors for effective post-editing.
