Neoveille, a web platform for neologism tracking

Abstract

This paper details a software designed to track neologisms in seven languages through newspapers monitor corpora. The platform combines state-of-the-art processes to track linguistic changes and a web platform for linguists to create and manage their corpora, accept or reject automatically identified neologisms, describe linguistically the accepted neologisms and follow their lifecycle on the monitor corpora. In the following, after a short state-of-the-art in Neologism Retrieval, Analysis and Life-tracking, we describe the overall architecture of the system. The platform can be freely browsed at www.neoveille.org where detailed presentation is given. Access to the editing modules is available upon request.
