Current Approaches of Corpus Pragmatics on Discourse and Translation Studies, an Introduction

Abstract

The third volume of the series Yearbook of Corpus Linguistics and Pragmatics describes current approaches to discourse and translation studies. The chapters in the volume will undoubtedly be useful to scholars interested in translation and discourse analysis, but also to linguists who want to investigate new ways of applying pragmatic theories to the interpretation of new textual domains. For this purpose, the authors have employed a great variety of theories, registers, topics and corpus collection methodologies. The chapters include corpus data and analyses of several languages: English, Spanish, Greek, Chinese, Dutch, Russian, Galician, Swedish and Italian.
