A current trend in contrastive corpus linguistics is to take register variation as a point of departure for identifying similarities and differences across languages. This volume looks back at central previous contributions in this area, and adds to our store of knowledge in the form of nine studies comparing English to five other languages in a wide variety of registers representing written, spoken, and written-to-be-spoken modes of communication. The volume starts with a semi-systematic review of previous research on corpus-based register variation comparing English with the other languages represented in the volume's studies, which are Dutch, French, German, Norwegian, and Spanish. In the subsequent nine chapters, a variety of topics are explored, ranging from verb and noun phrases to adverbials and other lexico-grammatical constructions. This book will be of interest to scholars, experts, and novices in the fields of contrastive corpus linguistics, register studies, and translation studies.

This volume comprises a collection of contrastive studies on language and time. Languages represented include Czech, French, German, Mandarin, Norwegian and Swedish, all of which are contrasted with English. While the amount of published research on temporal relations in general is considerable, less work has been carried out on comparing how we talk about time in various languages and how languages change over time. Several methodological challenges are addressed and solutions proposed, such as how to deal with poor quality historical data and how to identify n-grams in typologically different languages for purposes of comparison. The results of the various studies show how multilingual corpora can increase our knowledge of language-specific features as well as linguistic, typological and cultural differences and similarities across languages.
