Corpus stylistics has brought a brand new paradigm and research methodology for translation studies． Then corpus stylistics of drama，with the technically powerful aid of corpus-based means，opens up a wide universe for drama translation studies． Taking the two Chinese versions of Death of a Salesman as a case study，we select personal pronouns，demonstrative pronouns， demonstrative adverbs，the courtesy expressions as well as the verbal forms of“come ”and“go”as retrieval items，investigating the frequency and keyword list of those items in both of the versions with specific studies of some key words’distribution and function． It is found that YING Ｒuocheng’s version shows higher frequency，variety and flexibility of deictic expressions in both dramatic dialogues and stage directions，which promotes the performability of the translated drama in the target theatre．
