Corpora

According to the theory we have learned, Corpora are compilations of oral and written texts that try to
offer an accurate spectrum of the use of a language in a diversity of situations. I have looked up the
typical expression 'in relation to' on the corpora of Linguee (https://www.linguee.es/)and of the British
National Corpus (https://corpus.byu.edu/).

The British National Corpus


Linguee (parallel corpora)


As we all know, translate literally is not a good way to write, in this case, English, because each language
has its own syntax. These types of dictionaries give us the opportunity to structure some expressions.
Nevertheless, we have to select which is the best translation depending on the context. I recommend
both corpora since I think they can help you to write and use new expressions.
