Abstract:

Multilingual corpora have been used in cross-linguistic research for
30 years. New technologies have dramatically changed the processes of
compilation and exploitation of tailor-made corpora for linguistic
research. The studies included in this volume showcase current
cross-linguistic research utilising parallel, comparable, and novel
types of corpora beyond this traditional two-fold distinction. The
first part of the volume draws on specialised comparable corpora of
newspaper opinion articles, social media texts, and economic
discourse. Parallel corpora are the focus of the second part, and are
used to shed light on diverse areas such as translation history,
bilingual phraseology extraction, and lexico-grammatical contrastive
analysis. Recently, the emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has
implied a dramatic shift in corpus-based cross-linguistic research.
This book offers valuable insights for scholars in contrastive
linguistics and translation studies, delineating potential uses of
parallel and comparable corpora in Machine Translation, automated
translation quality assessment, post-editing, and other AI-enhanced
applications.
