Descripció fraseològica a partir de l’anàlisi basada en un corpus paral·lel: possibilitats, límits i una proposta

Abstract

The use of monolingual corpora in lexicography is now common practice.

However, when creating bilingual dictionaries, the question arises to what extent paral- lel corpora could be sources to be taken into account. It can be assumed that this kind

of corpora could provide possible contextualized lexical correspondences, if the cor- pora were large enough. Their use could point to problems of interlingual asymmetry,

which have not always received the necessary attention in traditional lexicography. I

present interlingual and context-motivated problems, which were found in the analysis

of German idioms and their Catalan translation using a parallel corpus.
