This lecture discusses the advantages of employing corpus tools and methodologies for empirical research in translation studies. The investigation focuses on the corpus-based analysis of paradigmatic and syntagmatic properties of words for translational purposes. To this end, the main search queries and potential of the Sketch Engine platform will be discussed and parallel corpora will be used to examine regularity phenomena and to highlight language specificities from a translational perspective.
