Abstract:
Contrastive studies have experienced a dramatic revival in the last decades.
By combining the methodological advantages of computer corpus linguistics and
the possibility of contrasting texts in two or more languages, the structure
and use of languages can be explored with greater accuracy, detail and
empirical strength than before. The approach has also proved to have fruitful
practical applications in a number of areas such as language teaching,
lexicography, translation studies and computer-aided translation. This volume
contains twelve studies comparing linguistic phenomena in English and seven
other languages. The topics range from comparisons of specific lexical
categories and word combinations to syntactic constructions and discourse
phenomena such as cohesion and thematic structure. The studies highlight
similarities and differences in the use, semantics and functions of the
compared items, as well as the emergence of new meanings and language change.
The emphasis varies from purely linguistic studies to those focusing on
practical applications.
