Cross-linguistic Register Variation by Sylvi Rørvik
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.-
