Ruben Medina Serrano - A Contrastive study of phraseological units in three languages

Full Title: A Contrastive study of phraseological units in three languages (German, English and Spanish) in the strategic sourcing field

Contrastive phraseological research works have risen significantly in the last decade thanks to the interest of the academic community in this field. Despite this new special attention, contrastive studies in the language combination English-German-Spanish still have room for improvement and new research, especially taking into account the use of the most suitable phraseologisms in general and collocations in particular for strategic sourcing. This paper aims to solve this need by analyzing the utilization of English-German-Spanish phraseological units using as a corpus made up of surveys. This research follows the theory of the classes of objects as defined by Gross (1995), focusing on strategic sourcing as a class. To this end, interlingual equivalences and differences between these three languages are identified, contributing to enrich the literature related to phraseological units, enhancing the research community from other disciplines to take into account the correct use of phraseological units in their research works. Findings from this research support the Thun’s (1978) theory about the repetition of certain collocations, particularly in supply chain contexts. One of the strong points of this research is the identification of the substantive Marktanteil through the resources of the Digital Dictionary of the German Language (DWDS, 2021), analyzing and contrasting the fre-quency of use of collocations during different time periods. In fact, the representation of collocations is analyzed by means of the Wortverlaufskurven, DWDS-Wortprofil and DiaCollo resources, performing a diachronic analysis. This study identifies the relevant influence of translations on education and teaching activities.
