Querying Multi-Layer Annotation and Alignment in Translation Corpora

When dealing with linguistically annotated and aligned corpora current research concentrates mainly on the investigation of translation properties. However, annotated and aligned corpora can be useful for practical translation as well, since translators also work with parallel corpora. Translators typically use raw sentence aligned corpora stored in translation memories. In this paper we will show how linguistically annotated and aligned corpora can be exploited for both, research topics and practical applications when it comes to typological differences between languages and register-specific language use. In this context we present two different query catalogues: an application-oriented set of queries for computer-assisted translation and a research-oriented set of queries aiming at register analysis. For this purpose we first present the corpus under investigation, its design, annotation and alignment in section 2. In this section we also introduce the MySQL database created for querying the annotated and aligned corpus. The query catalogues presented in section 3 and 4 offer a practical grammar-oriented look-up to be used in translator training and practice as well as rich linguistics-based insights into peculiarities of original registers and their translations. Section 5 briefly summarizes the findings of the paper and gives an outlook on future work.
