Abstract:

This volume assesses the state of the art of parallel corpus research as a
whole, reporting on advances in both recent developments of parallel corpora –
with some particular references to comparable corpora as well– and in ways of
exploiting them for a variety of purposes. The first part of the book is
devoted to new roles that parallel corpora can and should assume in
translation studies and in contrastive linguistics, to the usefulness and
usability of parallel corpora, and to advances in parallel corpus alignment,
annotation and retrieval. There follows an up-to-date presentation of a number
of parallel corpus projects currently being carried out in Europe, some of
them multimodal, with certain chapters illustrating case studies developed on
the basis of the corpora at hand. In most of these chapters, attention is paid
to specific technical issues of corpus building. The third part of the book
reflects on specific applications and on the creation of bilingual resources
from parallel corpora. This volume will be welcomed by scholars, postgraduate
and PhD students in the fields of contrastive linguistics, translation
studies, lexicography, language teaching and learning, machine translation,
and natural language processing.
