TOPICS

• Combination of concept-based and lexico-semantic approaches in terminological descriptions
• Modelling of lexical relationships (paradigmatic and syntagmatic), specialized meaning, sense distinctions, argument structure, multilingual terminological data
• Implementation of lexical descriptions of terms in terminological databases, dictionaries, ontologies and other formal knowledge representations
• Use of lexical descriptions of terms in computer applications
• Automatic or semi-automatic identification of lexical relationships,
  collocations and other lexical aspects of terms in specialized corpora
