Generalization and specification of lexical meaning are studied, both quantitatively and qualitatively, as potential universals of translation on the basis of a modest English-Czech corpus comprising monolingual, multilingual and parallel subcorpora. Against the backdrop of recent research in this area, generalization and specification are outlined from the viewpoint of semantics, lexicology, stylistics and contrastive language typology, with a particular focus on the category of translation universals and the employment of corpus methodology. Methods and tools are tailored to the needs of the analysis and the two contrasting concepts are operationalized. The results obtained confirmed a weak overall tendency to generalization as well as occurrence of specification which may be explained as due to the influence of several factors.
