VARIATION IN ENGLISH AND GERMAN NOMINAL COREFER...

The topic of this work is nominal coreference in English and German. Its focus is on
coreference relations that establish textual coherence and continuity above the local level of
the clause. The book shows how linguistic options for creating coreference in English and
German can be interpreted against the background of their motivating factors. It discusses
mental text processing  German-English systemic contrasts and register peculiarities as
possible sources for variation on different linguistic levels. Hermeneutic and example-based
observations are complemented by a corpus-linguistic analysis of English and German political
essays and German translations from the English originals. The study finally highlights
linguistic and functional correlations of coreference instantiations in English and German
texts  additionally shedding light on coreference strategies employed in translations. It thus
yields an incentive for future research as well as providing a wealth of insights for language
and translation teaching.
