Dissertation Abstract:

This research work presents the results of a series of experiments devoted
to the development of new tools for intertextual textometric exploration of
translation corpora. Various methods of textual statistics have been
adapted for use in a multilingual context and put into practice for
parallel text processing, such as: repeated segments extraction,
characteristic elements computation, bi-textual topography, multiple
co-occurrences, factorial analysis, automatic classification, etc. Examples
of concrete applications illustrate the use of each of these methods in a
multilingual context. These examples are accompanied by sample translation
resources obtained on quantitative bases from the parallel French/English
corpus of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights. The suggested
approach opens up new horizons for automatic exploration of lexical
equivalences of translation corpora by a variety of users: translators,
foreign language teachers, terminologists, lexicographers, etc.
