Description
Résumé:The aim of this paper is threefold: to give a brief outline of the use of corpora within the contemporary discipline of Translation Studies, to discuss the status of qualitative versus quantitative methods of investigation in translation, and to present an ongoing corpus-based project which combines qualitative and quantitative research. The project in question is a study of point of view and ideology in the most recent French translation of C. S. Lewis’s The Chronicles of Narnia published by Gallimard in 2005, collecting translations of individual volumes which first appeared in 2001 and 2002.
