Between the devil and the deep blue sea or between users' needs and the compilers' powers: An analysis of the Czech-Polish part of the parallel corpus InterCorp
2016
Abstract
The aim of the text is to confront expectations of parallel corpora users with possibilities of their builders. The idea arose from discussions of the first two co-authors as representatives of the corpus users with some of the builders of InterCorp, especially with the third co-author, mainly as a response to the fact that the efforts of the corpus builders (aimed, i.a., at a steady growth of the text volumes and improvements of corpus search tools) do not quite meet some research needs of the users.
Our comments are presented from two points of view: the builder's perspective and the users' perspective, based on comparative analyses and translatological studies.
