Summary/Abstract: Bilingual corpora in language education and research offer a unique instrument for discovering languages logical sets and translation techniques both in the original and the target language systems. They provide today’s learners with a means for individual exploration and acquiring of linguistic knowledge with no human mediators like e.g. teachers. That is one of the goals of building a parallel bilingual corpus of Bulgarian translations of Roman authors and texts as a depiction of a peculiar local reception of antiquity and as a means for enhancing linguistic and literary analyses. The paper confines to the account of few case studies, provided by aligned bilingual corpora and computer-assisted analyses, and intertwines with some issues about the dynamic and changing conditions and challenges in education and research in present days.
