TERMIS: a corpus-driven approach to compiling an e-dictionary of terminology

Abstract

This paper describes the process of compiling an online dictionary of terminology within the TERMIS project. The compilation began from a morphosyntactically tagged synchronous LSP corpus and involved automatic term recognition performed for single- and multi-word terms with the LUIZ term extraction system and the automatic extraction of lexical information from the corpus via the Sketch Engine tool. The information obtained, along with the results of the GDEX system, was imported into the dictionary editing system to the Termania web portal. A free online terminological database of the public relations field comprised of 2000 entries has been publicly available since July 2013.
