Hausarbeit

The course will cover systemic and textual contrasts between English and German, i.e. differences on various linguistic levels. Our special focus will lie on lexico-grammatical, semantic, syntactic and pragmatic phenomena that might cause difficulties in translation process. We will also learn about possibilities to use corpora and further resources to search for these phenomena, automatically extract them from texts. Corpus linguistics offers a broad spectrum of methodologies for contrastive linguistics and translation. The application of corpus resources will be illustrated with selected research questions relevant to the comparison of languages and translation studies. We will see, how issues related to language contrasts and translation can be solved with corpus-based methods. In the course, you will also have a small project on the discussed issues (team work is possible). The topics of your projects will include differences across languages (e.g. English and German), as well as differences in original texts and translations (translation strategies).
