Abstract:

Corpus-based contrastive and translation research are areas that keep evolving
in the digital age, as the range of new corpus resources and tools expands,
opening up to different approaches and application contexts. The current book
contains a selection of papers which focus on corpora and translation research
in the digital age, outlining some recent advances and explorations. After an
introductory chapter which outlines language technologies applied to
translation and interpreting with a view to identifying challenges and
research opportunities, the first part of the book is devoted to current
advances in the creation of new parallel corpora for under-researched areas,
the development of tools to manage parallel corpora or as an alternative to
parallel corpora, and new methodologies to improve existing translation memory
systems.

The contributions in the second part of the book address a number of
cutting-edge linguistic issues in the area of contrastive discourse studies
and translation analysis on the basis of comparable and parallel corpora in
several languages such as English, German, Swedish, French, Italian, Spanish,
Portuguese and Turkish, thus showcasing the richness of the linguistic
diversity carried out in these recent investigations. 

Given the multiplicity of topics, methodologies and languages studied in the
different chapters, the book will be of interest to a wide audience working in
the fields of translation studies, contrastive linguistics and the automatic
processing of language.
