Abstract:

Marking 30 years of contrastive corpus linguistics, this volume
provides a state-of-the-art of the field, charting its development
over time and expanding the boundaries of the discipline.

Focusing on a diversity of methods and approaches to language
comparison, it uses both comparable and translation corpora, and
explores a broad range of language registers from newspaper reporting
and spoken political discourse to film scripts and football match
reports. Using English as the pivot language for each chapter, the
volume offers contrastive bilingual and trilingual perspectives on a
number of languages, including Czech, Finnish, French, German,
Norwegian, Spanish, and Swedish, covering a typologically diverse
field. By exploring the application of complex multi-genre
multilingual data sets and expanding the horizons of contrastive
studies, it demonstrates how a juxtaposition of cross-linguistic and
register variation can deepen our insight into language variation and
use.

The volume is dedicated to two prominent contrastive corpus linguists:
Karin Aijmer and Bengt Altenberg, who have decisively shaped the
discipline from its very beginnings. The book opens with a chapter by
Aijmer, reflecting on the current breadth and future prospects of
research in the area while pointing to emergent trends with an insight
that only she can offer
