Text Corpus and Translation

In linguistics, a corpora refers to a set of written texts or orally documented materials of any language. The creation of corpora acquired special significance for such humanities as linguistics, literary studies, historiography, and jurisprudence. The corpus allows for systematic research of individual issues and problems. Text linguistics in translation allows us to study the practice of using this or that word, term in different texts, to professionally understand the semantics, etiology and frequency of the use of this or that linguistic form. In this regard, it is important to have both monolingual and bilingual so-called Parallel Corpora.

The Delta Translation Group's English and Russian parallel language corpora are represented by more than a million language enigmas. Database search engine is located at:

                                                                                                        www.corpus.org.ge
