This poster paper aims to present an early-stage work of a group of researchers collaborating within the project EMPHRASE. The corpus-based cross-linguistic studies of a specialised phraseology across different linguistic registers, genres and domains of language use have not received sufficient attention yet (Buendía 2013, Aguado 2007, Ramisch 2015, Grabowski 2018), notably in terms of turning the results of largely descriptive studies into actionable knowledge. The project revolves around three main axes: 1) compiling and structuring an inventory of word combinations from different genres, disciplines and languages; 2) exploring and analysing cross-genre characteristics as well as typical features found in the phraseological repertoire (e.g. measuring the degree of frequency and use of phraseological patterns); 3) testing and fine-tuning methodologies for identification and analysis of recurrent multi-word items used in texts written in typologically different languages. The proposed study is concerned with lexical phrases commonly used in specialised/technical domains; we focus on word combinations which usually consist of two or more lexical items associated together in systematic ways, either by frequent use or by genre convention. Eventually, the analysis intends to integrate lexical, semantic and communicative aspects involving various European languages, i.e. English, Spanish, Polish and Russian. |
