“…Various studies concern lexicography (Ł. Grabowski, 2018;Perdek, 2012), morphology (Jurkiewicz-Rohrbacher, 2019) and translation studies (Biel, Łucja, 2010;Wołk, 2015;Zeldes, 2012). A notable difference between the body of research concerning Polish and English parallel corpora is its size.…”

The main goal of the project is to create the English-Polish-Belarusian Literary Parallel Corpus (EPB corpus) and present its applications in several linguistic disciplines, including translation studies and discourse analysis. The thesis provides an outline of corpus linguistics research and corpus linguistics as a methodology, then addresses the problem of the differences in the development of corpus linguistics in the three languages: English (as a lingua franca), Polish (a statutory national language) and Belarusian (a minority language). The analysis of available tools and resources for each of these languages proves the need for the EPB corpus in order to develop useful new resources for Belarusian in particular.A substantial part of the thesis presents the documentation of the process of creating the corpus. Various aspects of corpus design, text collection and text encoding are discussed in the context of the availability and usability of numerous tools. Special attention is paid to the tools specifically designed for each language and to the solutions that enable the data processed by these tools to be merged.Using corpus linguistics techniques (e.g. linguistic distribution, lexical density, vector-based semantic similarity measures) the thesis goes on to explore the application of the EPB corpus in investigating translation universals, in exploring the dependency between the author’s and the translator’s style, in supporting translation students and professionals, and in analysis of gender discourse. These case studies clearly show the practical value of the resource.Finally, the thesis provides a detailed overview of the plans and possibilities for further development of the project in the broader context of the evolution of Polish and Belarusian corpus linguistics.

In the paper, we discuss the phenomenon of clitic climbing (CC) out of infinitive complements in contemporary Croatian. Based on the first theoretical work and some empirical findings on CC in Czech and Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian (BCS) and the observation that differences in CC linked to register have been reported for some languages, we elaborate on the claim that CC varies in respect of both register and the Raising-Control Dichotomy. The following research questions are addressed: Does clitic climbing out of the single infinitive in Croatian depend on the type of complement-taking predicate (CTP) with respect to the Raising-Control Distinction? Does CC appear with equal frequency in standard and colloquial Croatian if the type of CTP verb (Raising vs Control) as a variable remains constant? Our study is based on data for two types of complement-taking predicates: a) Raising (8 different verbs) and b) Subject Control (8 non-reflexive + 8 reflexive verbs). The data was extracted from the Forum subcorpus of hrWaC v2.2 and from the Croatian Language Repository and Croatian National Corpus. Our data suggest that not only the Raising-Control Dichotomy, but also diaphasic variation have an impact on CC from infinitive complements.
