ABSTRACT

In this chapter, the different types of corpus method triangulation, namely within-method and between-method, are examined. The model of corpus method triangulation developed in chapter stresses the importance of employing not only both qualitative and quantitative methods of corpus analysis, but also combining different quantitative methods, not least inferential statistics. Particular attention is paid to the use of statistics to scrutinise corpus data, as these have not been extensively used in corpus-based translation studies. The aim of this chapter is to explain how corpus method triangulation can be achieved using such techniques.
