For this purpose corpora of expertexpert and expert-lay communication are annotated for part-of-speech and phrase structure information. On this basis, the frequencies of pre- and post-modifications in complex noun phrases are statistically investigated and compared for English and German. Moreover, using parallel and comparable corpora it is tested whether English-German translations obey the register norms of the target language or whether the LSP frequency patterns of the source language {\~N}shine through{\`i}. The results provide an empirical insight into language contact phenomena involving specialized communication.}, language = {de} }
