Abstract:

A current trend in contrastive corpus linguistics is to take register
variation as a point of departure for identifying similarities and
differences across languages. This volume looks back at central
previous contributions in this area, and adds to our store of
knowledge in the form of nine studies comparing English to five other
languages in a wide variety of registers representing written, spoken,
and written-to-be-spoken modes of communication. The volume starts
with a semi-systematic review of previous research on corpus-based
register variation comparing English with the other languages
represented in the volume’s studies, which are Dutch, French, German,
Norwegian, and Spanish. In the subsequent nine chapters, a variety of
topics are explored, ranging from verb and noun phrases to adverbials
and other lexico-grammatical constructions. This book will be of
interest to scholars, experts, and novices in the fields of
contrastive corpus linguistics, register studies, and translation
studies.
