The aim of this research is to shed some light on the causes of Spanish students' underuse of both in their writing by analyzing and classifying the translation solutions for each different use of both and by comparing the use of both and its Spanish counterparts in fictional discourse and in non-fictional discourse to search for any possible cross-register differences. A parallel English-Spanish corpus, P-ACTRES, an ad hoc corpus of contemporary English texts and their corresponding translations into Spanish, has been used for the purpose of this study. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: © 2019 EADH: The European Association for Digital Humanities. item: Digital Scholarship in the Humanities holder: Oxford University Press / USA dt: @attributes: year: 2016 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
