Corpus Triangulation: Combining Data and Methods in Corpus-Based Translation Studies

Overview

Despite the recognition that corpus-based translation research would benefit from the triangulation of corpora, little has been done in the direction of actually employing combined corpus data and methods in the field. This book aims to address this gap by providing a much needed detailed account of corpus triangulation, where different corpora (e.g. parallel, comparable, synchronic, diachronic) and/or different methods of analysis (e.g. qualitative, quantitative) can be used to increase our understanding of the phenomena where translation plays a key role. The book also demonstrates clearly how the proposed methodology can be fruitfully employed to investigate different linguistic features, through its systematic application to empirical data. The first part of the book introduces the innovative framework for corpus triangulation, which is based on a new and comprehensive corpus typology, while the second part applies the methodological framework to two case studies examining the language of translation and the relationship between translation and language change. The book advances current translation studies in terms of methodology innovation and offers a model on which future studies investigating the network of relationships surrounding translated texts can be based.

Reviews

'Sofia Malamatidou makes a compelling case for the use of triangulation in corpus-based translation studies (CTS). Arguing that triangulation has thus far been exploited in mostly limited and ad hoc ways in CTS, she champions a more ambitious and principled approach - one that reaps the benefits of combining both different data sources and different methods. Whether she is presenting a novel corpus typology, or encouraging scholars to broaden the quantitative basis of their research, Malamatidou offers a fresh perspective, and makes a sophisticated contribution to the coming-of-age of corpus-based translation studies.' - Professor Dorothy Kenny, Dublin City University
