Moving on to discourse and text, there is a sizeable body of literature on cohesive patterns in English and German respectively - but very little in terms of a comparison. The latter, though, is of particular interest for language learners, translators and, of course, linguists and researchers in language technology. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book attempts to close this gap, based on a number of years of corpus-based study into variation and cohesion in the two languages. While there is an overall focus on language contrasts, it also investigates variation between different registers language-internally, and between written and spoken mode in particular. For each of the five major types of cohesion (co-reference, substitution, ellipsis, conjunctive relations and lexical cohesion), overviews are given of contrasts in the system and of contrastive frequencies in texts. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eResults and methods presented in this book are thus relevant for language teaching, translation, language technology and corpus-based work on English and German generally. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kerstin Kunz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48262600589563,"sku":"9783110711059","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_1e5f9024-796b-4cbb-b338-e59a159f59c3.jpg?v=1778448513","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/gecco-german-english-contrasts-in-cohesion-9783110711059","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
