Change of verbs into another parts-of-speech in English and German Buchkatalog

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2013 im Fachbereich Anglistik - Linguistik, Note: 2, 0, Rheinisch-Westfälische Technische Hochschule Aachen (Anglistik der RWTH), Veranstaltung: Corpus-based translation studies, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: The topic of my term paper is the change of word classes, particularly the examination of verbs and their changes into another parts-of-speech in the translation directions from English to German and from German to English. This topic is of great importance in linguistics, as the word class changes in English and German are influenced by many factors. To understand and to analyse the word class change, many linguistic features, such as grammatical relations within clauses, need to be studied and known in the individual languages, which are also studies in this term paper.
