The article discusses the stages and principles of constructing parallel text corpora used in linguistic research and educational applications. It outlines the key stages in corpus creation: from selecting representative texts in the source language to aligning them with translations in other languages and implementing multi-level annotation. Criteria ensuring the representativeness and target orientation of the corpora are described, including genre diversity, types of linguistic data, and machine-processability. Special attention is given to characteristics that define the functionality of parallel corpora, such as contextual alignment, textual synchrony, and adaptation to profession-oriented tasks. The paper analyzes the didactic potential of parallel corpora, which enables precise study of linguistic patterns and lexical variability.
