Articles
2023 How do translators select among competing (near-)synonyms in translation? A corpus-based approach using random forest modelling Target 35:1, pp. 1–33 | Article
This article investigates how translators choose between multiple competing onomasiological variants to express (verbal) inchoativity in English-to-Dutch translations. Using a corpus-based multifactorial research design, we measure the impact of three well-known socio-cognitive mechanisms on the… read more
2023 Is linguistic decision-making constrained by the same cognitive factors in student and in professional translation? Evidence from subject placement in French‑to‑Dutch news translation Learner translation corpus research, Granger, Sylviane and Marie-Aude Lefer (eds.), pp. 61–96 | Article
This article analyses the extent to which four well-known general cognitive constraints – syntactic priming, cognitive routinisation, markedness of coding and structural integration – impact the linguistic output of translation students and professional translators similarly. It takes subject… read more
2018 Alternations in contact and non-contact varieties: Reconceptualising that-omission in translated and non-translated English using the MuPDAR approach Translation, Cognition & Behavior 1:2, pp. 251–290 | Article
The Multifactorial Prediction and Deviation Analysis (MuPDAR) method (Gries & Deshors 2014) represents an influential methodological advance in studying variation in contexts where linguistic choices in a “peripheral” variety (learner language, New Englishes) are studied in relation to the… read more
2018 Chapter 3. Observing Eurolects: The case of Netherlandic Dutch Observing Eurolects: Corpus analysis of linguistic variation in EU law, Mori, Laura (ed.), pp. 48–62 | Chapter
Building on the textual data in the Dutch part of Eurolect Observatory Multilingual Corpus, consisting of 660 texts (3.7M words) in corpus A (directives) and 504 texts (4M tokens) in corpus B (implementation laws), we investigate the extent to which the language of European directives shines… read more
2017 Introduction: Current trends in analyzing syntactic variation Current trends in analyzing syntactic variation, De Cuypere, Ludovic, Clara Vanderschueren and Gert de Sutter (eds.), pp. 1–7 | Introduction
2017 A corpus-based study of semantic differences in translation: The case of inchoativity in Dutch Target 29:3, pp. 388–415 | Article
This paper presents a corpus-driven, statistical method for the visualization of semantic structure, thereby tackling the under-researched issue of semantics in corpus-based Translation Studies. We aim to investigate the influence of translation on the structure of semantic fields and in… read more
2015 Review of Ebeling & Ebeling (2013): Patterns in Contrast Languages in Contrast 15:2, pp. 297–301 | Review
2013 Applying a multidimensional, register-sensitive approach to visualize normalization in translated and non-translated Dutch Interference and normalization in genre-controlled multilingual corpora, Lefer, Marie-Aude and Svetlana Vogeleer (eds.), pp. 43–60 | Article
In this paper we investigate the differences in risk-averse behavior in translated versus non-translated texts by comparing lexical normalization in various registers of translated and non-translated Dutch. We want to verify: (i) to what extent normalization is register dependent; (ii) whether… read more
2013 Contrastive Linguistics and Translation Studies Handbook of Translation Studies: Volume 4, Gambier, Yves and Luc van Doorslaer (eds.), pp. 36–41 | Article
2012 Contingency hedges in Dutch, French and English: A corpus-based contrastive analysis of the language-internal and -external properties of English depend, French dépendre and Dutch afhangen, liggen and zien Corpus Studies in Contrastive Linguistics, Marzo, Stefania, Kris Heylen and Gert de Sutter (eds.), pp. 33–62 | Article
This article reports on a detailed corpus-based and contrastive analysis of the syntactic, semantic and functional properties of English depend, French dépendre and Dutch afhangen, liggen and zien as markers of intersubjectivity. Based on three large-scale monolingual corpora of spoken English,… read more
2012 Is translated language more standardized than non-translated language? Using profile-based correspondence analysis for measuring linguistic distances between language varieties. Target 24:2, pp. 203–224 | Article
With this article, we seek to support the law of growing standardization by showing that texts translated into Belgian Dutch make more use of standard language than non-translated Belgian Dutch texts. Additionally, we want to examine whether the use of standard vs. non-standard language can be… read more
2012 Developments in Corpus-based Contrastive Linguistics Corpus Studies in Contrastive Linguistics, Marzo, Stefania, Kris Heylen and Gert de Sutter (eds.), pp. 1–6 | Article

The present study addresses the long-standing issue in corpus-based translation studies that translated texts differ from non-translated texts in the same language, irrespective of text type or source language. We investigate whether this claim is empirically verifiable for a variety of lexical… read more

This paper reports on a quantitative corpus-based study of the impact of a postverbal constituent (PVC) on the choice of word order in Dutch written clause final verb clusters consisting of a participle and an auxiliary verb. The study verifies the results of previous research by analyzing the… read more
