The aim of this paper is to present a new linguistic research tool, the InterCorp multilingual corpus (www.korpus.cz/intercorp), and the possibilities of its use. We first show the composition of the corpus and the institutional framework of the whole project (section 1), afterwards, we specify in section 2 the technical procedures of the corpus constitution and the most important functions of the search engine which allows to exploit it.
Finally, we present in the Conclusion some examples of research already carried out on the InterCorp corpus, while raising the most relevant methodological problems that weigh on any exploitation of parallel corpus.
