Corpus use in cross-linguistic research : paving the way for teaching, translation and professional communication / edited by Marlén Izquierdo, Zuriñe Sanz-Villar, University of the Basque Country, UPV/EHU.
"Cross-linguistic research is a fruitful field of language enquiry that has benefited enormously from corpus linguistics. Either as a source of data of various kind or as a tool involved in language processing, corpora have shaped the development of the field enabling both language description and language application. This volume contains twelve studies that emphasize the usefulness and usability of parallel corpora in accurately exploring the structure and use, either general or specialized, of seven languages. The first part emphasizes the role of corpus-based descriptive analyses at various levels, i.e., lexical, lexicogrammatical, or discursive, as a first step on the way towards concrete applications like translation or language teaching. The second part focuses on the role of parallel-corpus-based language processing techniques or applications that facilitate professional communication. This book will be of interest to scholars in contrastive linguistics, translation studies, discourse analysis, language teaching and natural language processing"-- Provided by publisher.
