El lenguaje económico español y alemán a través de la prensa especializada. Parámetros para un estudio contrastivo de corpus

Résumé

CRISCorp is a corpus of comparable texts proceeding from specialized written on-line media. This article explains how the texts were selected and grouped and shows the final results with certain corpus linguistic IT tools. CRISCorp is a tool aimed at the global characterization of the chosen text types, this is to say semi-specialized informative texts, which not only approach issues concerning economic terminology -such as terms, phrasal terms and neologisms - but also aspects concerning the syntactic, textual and discursive structure. Tools like text linguistics or critical discourse analysis will help us to understand the way in which the specialized knowledge of macroeconomics is transmitted in the media and how new concepts are brought into being in the two languages of our concern.
