Abstract:

This volume contributes to filling a gap in corpus-based research by
investigating the ways in which linguistic features vary across
genres/registers cross-linguistically. It brings together insightful chapters
by leading scholars in the field, fruitfully exploiting genre- or
register-controlled multilingual parallel and comparable corpora to: (i)
problematize cross-register variation in a multilingual perspective, (ii)
address methodological and theoretical issues raised by register-oriented
contrastive and translation studies, (iii) investigate the cross-linguistic
and cross-genre variation of specific linguistic features, such as lexical
bundles, sentence-initial adverbials and tag questions, (iv) identify
cross-cultural and cross-linguistic dissimilarities in expressing a functional
category, viz. Appraisal, in the field of opinion mining. The book offers new
cutting-edge research that should be of interest to specialists in contrastive
linguistics, translation studies and cross-cultural studies. Originally
published as a special issue of Languages in Contrast 14:1 (2014).
