León-Araúz, Pilar and Melania Cabezas-García 2024 Chapter 5. Evaluating a bracketing protocol for multiword termsRecent Advances in Multiword Units in Machine Translation and Translation Technology, Monti, Johanna, Gloria Corpas Pastor, Ruslan Mitkov and Carlos Manuel Hidalgo-Ternero (eds.), pp. 79–102 | Chapter
Multiword terms (MWTs) are frequently used to encapsulate and convey meaning in scientific and technical texts. However, they can also make these texts difficult to understand because the relations between constituents are not transparent. When MWTs have more than two constituents, a dependency… read more
Benítez Carrasco, Valeria and Pilar León-Araúz 2023 Denominative variation in the COVID-19 Open Research Dataset corpusThe terminological impact of pandemics: COVID-19 and beyond, Wermuth, Maria-Cornelia and Paul Sambre (eds.), pp. 252–305 | Article
Since 2020, we have witnessed the emergence of new concepts and terms due to the pandemic outbreak. Some of them have even become obsolete in a short period of time whereas others are still misused despite standardization efforts. In this paper we study explicit denominative variation in the… read more
Cabezas-García, Melania and Pilar León-Araúz 2023 Indirect translation and its influence on term variation: A pilot study on climate actionIndirect Translation and Sustainable Development, Buts, Jan, Hanna Pięta, Laura Ivaska and James Hadley (eds.), pp. 255–284 | Article
Term variation occurs when different designations are used to name the same concept. In institutional settings, such as the European Union, term variants multiply, partly as a result of the different languages and directions involved. Indirect translation is a recurrent practice in these… read more
Chambó, Santiago and Pilar León-Araúz 2023 Corpus-driven conceptual analysis of epidemic and coronavirus for the Humanitarian Encyclopedia: A case studyThe terminological impact of pandemics: COVID-19 and beyond, Wermuth, Maria-Cornelia and Paul Sambre (eds.), pp. 180–223 | Article
Terminological conceptual analysis can be applied to purposes beyond terminology work. This article presents a Frame-based Terminology approach adapted to analyse concepts and inform the content of entries in the Humanitarian Encyclopedia. It proposes a method for conceptual analysis by… read more
León-Araúz, Pilar 2022 Chapter 22. Terminology and equivalenceTheoretical Perspectives on Terminology: Explaining terms, concepts and specialized knowledge, Faber, Pamela and Marie-Claude L'Homme (eds.), pp. 477–502 | Chapter
Equivalence has not attracted as much interest as other issues in Terminology. Nevertheless, terminological equivalence can be understood from different perspectives: (1) equivalence at the concept, term or textual level; (2) degree of equivalence (from full to zero equivalence); (3)… read more
San Martín, Antonio, Catherine Trekker et Pilar León-Araúz 2022 Repérage automatisé de l’hyponymie dans des corpus spécialisés en français à l’aide de Sketch EngineTerminology 28:2, pp. 264–298 | Article
Hyponymy is an essential semantic relation in terminology, as it represents the hierarchical organization of concepts. Much has been written about hyponymy extraction. However, terminologists working with French do not currently have user-friendly and freely available tools to automatically… read more
León-Araúz, Pilar, Arianne Reimerink and Pamela Faber 2019 EcoLexicon and by-products: Integrating and reusing terminological resourcesTerminology and e-dictionaries, Alcina, Amparo, Rute Costa and Christophe Roche (eds.), pp. 222–258 | Article
Reutilization and interoperability are major issues in the fields of knowledge representation and extraction, as reflected in initiatives such as the Semantic Web and the Linked Open Data Cloud. This paper shows how terminological resources can be integrated and reused within different types of… read more
León-Araúz, Pilar 2017 Chapter 9. Term and concept variation in specialized knowledge dynamicsMultiple Perspectives on Terminological Variation, Drouin, Patrick, Aline Francœur, John Humbley and Aurélie Picton (eds.), pp. 213–258 | Chapter
Variation is a relatively new area of study in Terminology, as traditional approaches initially relied on the univocity principle and represented concepts in static universal structures. This means that for a long time, neither term nor concept variations were regarded as important and were largely… read more
This chapter examines the multidimensional representation of specialized concepts and concept systems within the context of new theories of simulated cognition and culture-bound terminology. According to the premises of Frame-based Terminology (Faber et al. 2005; Faber et al. 2006; Faber et al.… read more
León-Araúz, Pilar, Arianne Reimerink and Alejandro García Aragón 2013 Dynamism and context in specialized knowledgeTerminology 19:1, pp. 31–61 | Article
EcoLexicon is a terminological knowledge base (TKB) on the environment which seeks to enhance both cognitive and communicative needs of different users. In order to achieve this, TKBs should reflect conceptual structures in a similar way to how concepts relate in the human mind (Meyer et al. 1992).… read more
Faber, Pamela, Silvia Montero Martínez, María Rosa Castro Prieto, José Senso Ruiz, Juan Antonio Prieto Velasco, Pilar León-Araúz, Carlos Márquez Linares and Miguel Vega Expósito 2006 Process-oriented terminology management in the domain of Coastal EngineeringProcessing of Terms in Specialized Dictionaries: New Models and Techniques, L'Homme, Marie-Claude (ed.), pp. 189–213 | Article
This article describes the theoretical premises and methodology presently being used in the development of the PuertoTerm database on Coastal Engineering. In our project there are three foci, which are highly relevant to the elaboration of lexicographic and terminological products: (1) the… read more
