本文根据多样性、领域、分析、视角、质量、代表性和可比性的标准，考虑了在类型学研究中使用平行文本的优点和缺点。在两个运动事件域（BRING 和 RUN）中的多动词结构（包括串行动词结构、复合动词结构等）的案例研究中，显示了类型学如何从平行文本中获益，特别是在定量变量的研究中。引入了一种方法，将连续分布的特征转换为具有低、中、高值的三元特征，然后可以测试其相关性。
In this paper, advantages and disadvantages of using parallel texts in typological studies are considered according to the criteria of diversity, domains, analysis, per-spective, quality, representativity, and comparability. It is shown in a case study of multi-verb constructions (including serial verb constructions, converb constructions, etc.) in two motion event domains (BRING and RUN) how typology can profit from parallel texts especially in the investigation of quantitative variables. A method is introduced to transform features with continuous distributions into ternary features with low, intermediate, and high values which can then be tested for correlations.
