Corpus Linguistics for Translation and Contrastive Studies provides a clear and practical introduction to using corpora within these fields. Special attention is given to parallel corpora and their potential benefits for multilingual corpus linguistics research. The book covers the theory of corpus research; describes the different types of parallel corpora; and explains more practical issues such as compiling a corpus and the basic and advanced search procedures. Illustrated with case studies from a range of languages and from parallel corpora, this book is essential reading for students undertaking research in translation and contrastive studies.
