The contributions in this volume (first published as a Special Issue of 'International Journal of Corpus Linguistics' 6, 2001) evolved from the EU-funded project 'Trans-European Language Resources Infrastructure' (TELRI) and deal with various aspects of multilingual corpus linguistics. The topics reach from building parallel corpora over annotation issues and questions concerning terminology extraction to bilingual and multilingual lexicography; the statistical properties of parallel corpora and the practice of translators; and the role of corpus linguistics for multilingual language technology.
