NP-Internal Kind of and Sort of: Evidence from an English-Czech Parallel Translation Corpus

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

In this chapter, we turn to the parallel translation corpus InterCorp to investigate the status of two English type nouns kind and sort (at this stage in American English only) through their correspondences in a typologically different language, namely the inflectional and articleless Czech (where type nouns have not been grammaticalized to the same extent as the English ones). Attention is also paid to the determiners and modifiers which appear in each construction and the discourse functions of the constructions. Our research not only shows how the pragmatic and textual functions of the type nouns in the NP1 of NP2 structure are made “visible” through translation, but it also suggests that the translation correspondences follow from the element preceding sort/kind.
