                   corpora by which translation scholars can validate
                   their theoretical claims, for example, regarding the
                   scope of the characteristics of the translation
                   relation. In this paper, we describe a customized
                   resource in the area of translation studies that mainly
                   addresses research on the properties of the translation
                   relation. Our experimental results show that the
                   Type-Token-Ratio (TTR) is not a universally valid
                   indicator of the simplification of translation.},
