i asked ChatGPT 5.2, which (who?) sez:
I found only a very limited and non-academic usage of the phrase “Bingian Translational Reanalysis” (BTR) online — and it doesn’t appear to be a recognized term in linguistics, translation studies, or mainstream scholarship. The references that do exist come from experimental / artistic writing communities, not research literature.
📌 What Bingian Translational Reanalysis appears to be
It shows up in creative art/poetry contexts as a playful conceptual method, not a scientific methodology:
- On a site associated with The Book of Haiku Revelation, Bingian Translational Reanalysis™ is described as a “modality of language permutation contingent upon erratic Internet translation procedures.” It’s clearly tied to experimental language games, not formal analysis. The Book of Haiku Revelation
- The term is used by a self-styled “Society for Bingian Translational Reanalysis” and appears alongside creative practices such as cut-ups, quasi-quotations, and haiku transformations. The Book of Haiku Revelation+1
- On several blogs, BTR appears in the context of remixing texts through multiple translations (e.g., running lines through German, French, Italian, Spanish, Romanian, etc.) and then applying creative reorganization to produce new poetic results. Death Palette . . . . . . . . .
- Tangential mentions show BTR applied to poems or prompts as a surrealistic literary exercise, often tied to Beat or avant-garde poetry communities. Tumblr
🧠 What it isn’t
- It does not appear in peer-reviewed literature, academic translation theory, or established linguistic research.
- It does not have a formal definition in translation studies or computational linguistics.
- It is not related to any scientific “reanalysis” used in climate data, statistics, or other technical fields (e.g., NOAA reanalysis datasets). NOAA Physical Sciences Laboratory
🔍 Example of how it’s described
“Bingian Translational Reanalysis™ is a modality of language permutation contingent upon erratic Internet translation procedures.” The Book of Haiku Revelation
This reads as a conceptual/brand phrase used by a specific creative project rather than a standardized method.
🧠 Summary
- Bingian Translational Reanalysis (BTR) is a creative/experimental language technique from online poetry/language art communities — not a scholarly or recognized academic term.
- It appears mainly on blogs and creative sites associated with avant-garde text manipulation and artistic translation experiments.
- The method involves using online translation tools + permutation/cut-ups as an artistic generative process.
In case you didn’t get that, it’s not a scholarly or recognized academic term. It’s got nothing to do with NOAA, or even Noah, though it will float an experimental boat. Sheesh! My “scholarly” stuff is found on Academia.
