Abstract
This paper introduces an approach that applies corpus statistical theory to enable computer-aided automatic emending of The Secret History of Mongols. It also presents its advantages over manual emending. Through computer automatic emending, it is easier to find errors and ambiguities that can hardly be identified by manual emending. After setting up critical confidence value and confidence interval, computer can correct errors automatically or simply mark up the ambiguities. Those marked ambiguities can be retained for manual emending. This approach saves lots of manual emending work, which proves to be an improved approach to process complex texts.
