Multi-word lexical units are a typical feature of specialized dictionaries, in particular monolingual and bilingual maritime dictionaries. The paper studies the concept of the multi-word lexical unit and considers the similarities and differences of their selection and presentation in monolingual and bilingual maritime dictionaries. The work analyses such issues as the classification of multi-w...

Opinions differ according to how the trait is understood and whether the system favors the process-oriented or product-oriented views towards the assessment and writing skill.

The automatic compilation of bilingual dictionaries from comparable corpora has been successful for single-word terms (SWTs), but remains disappointing for multi-word terms (MWTs). One of the main problems is the insufficient coverage of the bilingual dictionary. Using the compositional translation method improved the results, but still shows some limits for MWTs of different syntactic structur...

The automatic compilation of bilingual dictionaries from comparable corpora has been successful for single-word terms (SWTs), but remains disappointed for multi-word terms (MWTs). The increase of coverage of bilingual dictionary thanks to compositional translation improved the results, but still shows some limits for MWTs of different syntactic structures. In this paper, we propose to bridge th...

Since May 2001 the Sepedi National Lexicography Unit officially started the actual dictionary-writing of a pioneering Explanatory Sepedi Dictionary (PyaSsaL).

In this article the various compilation aspects are examined an...

The objective of this paper is to demonstrate that corpus-driven bilingual dictionaries generated fully by automatic means are suitable for human use. Previous experiments have proven that bilingual resources can be created by applying word alignment on parallel corpora and such resources are useful for bilingual dictionary compilation purposes. Moreover, the corpus-driven nature of the method ...
