Summary/Abstract: Commonly featured as one of the most flexible analysis methodologies, corpus linguistics applications are an open class, facilitating the development of inter-and trans-disciplinary research studies. The extensive applicability of corpus linguistics syncs with the fast updating state-of-the-art technology, fostering multi-layered competences applied to design experiments, data collection and interpretation, lead to improved qualitative and statistical research tools. Driven by the requirement of multilayered competences, we embark upon the in-depth investigation of a learner corpus to identify the occurrence pattern and rate of mistranslation instances, based on a translation project carried out by 1st and 2nd year undergraduates in Translation and Interpretation.
