Comparable corpora
Definition of comparable corpora
Set of texts in languages L1 and L2, which are not translations,but which deal with the same subject matter, so that there is still apossibility to extract translation pairs
Some difficulties:
I language in target texts is not influenced by source textsI mixed text types : technical, scientific, lay science...
⇒ do not expect parallelism in source ↔ target structures
⇒ need to deal with variation in translation

Variation in translation
Morphological variation:I anticancer (Noun) → anticancereux (Adj) ’anticancerous’
⇒ use of morphological derivation rules / lexicons
Lexical variation:I radiosensitivity → Radiotoleranz ’radiotolerance’
sensitivity ≈ tolerance
⇒ use of synonyms, thesaurus
