metadata.value: In this paper, we discuss the possible composition, functions and aims of a parallel
  Scandinavian-Polish and Polish-Scandinavian text corpus. We begin by showing
  how different fields such as translation studies and contrastive grammar have used
  translations as study material to gather and interpret data, and what one can learn
  from those studies. Afterwards, we focus on the linguistic topics that so far have
  been studied based on literary translations in the language pairs Polish-Swedish and
  Polish-Norwegian. Our main resource here are bachelor and master theses written at
  Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan between 2010 and 2016. We discuss both the
  composition of the corpora used, noting the asymmetries in the genres and source
  languages (narrative vs. documentary prose; Swedish texts in Polish translations and
  Polish texts in Norwegian translations) and examples of the use of corpora. The case
  studies chosen here include one oriented towards strictly grammatical phenomena
  (conjunctions in Swedish and their Polish counterparts), one oriented towards the
  semantics of the source language (discourse particles in Norwegian) and one focusing
  on stylistics of a given author (typical features of Czesław Miłosz’ prose). All case
  studies have been prepared by manual search of accessible texts, rendering them more
  modest than they could otherwise have been, had the students had access to digital
  corpora. In the final part of the paper, we analyse the important features of a parallel
  Scandinavian-Polish text corpus, including choice of texts, minimal size of the corpus
  and types of functions necessary. We argue that such a corpus would prove valuable for
  linguists, translation researchers and interpreters.
