2020 Who stole what from whom? A corpus-based, cross-linguistic study of English and Spanish verbs of stealing Languages in Contrast 20:1, pp. 107–140
Drawing on the Lexical Grammar Model, Frame Semantics and Corpus Pattern Analysis, we analyze and contrast verbs of stealing in English and Spanish from a lexico-semantic perspective. This involves looking at the lexical collocates and their corresponding semantic categories that fill the argument… read more | Article

Terminology work involves the collection, analysis and distribution of terms. This is essential for a wide range of activities, such as technical writing and communication, knowledge acquisition, specialized translation, knowledge resource development and information retrieval. However, these… read more | Article

2014 Distintos enfoques al traducir y su efecto en el receptor Revista Española de Lingüística Aplicada/Spanish Journal of Applied Linguistics 27:2, pp. 297–322
The objective of this study was to determine how the translation approach adopted in an elementary reading text affected its reception by a group of primary school children. Also studied was the impact that the translation approach used had on reading motivation. The three approaches were the… read more | Article

2014 7. Specialized knowledge dynamics: From cognition to culture-bound terminology Dynamics and Terminology: An interdisciplinary perspective on monolingual and multilingual culture-bound communication, Temmerman, Rita and Marc Van Campenhoudt (eds.), pp. 135–158
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 | Article
2014 Deep semantic representation
in a domain-specific ontology: Linking EcoLexicon to FunGramKB Language Processing and Grammars: The role of functionally oriented computational models, Nolan, Brian and Carlos Periñán-Pascual (eds.), pp. 271–296
EcoLexicon is a frame-based visual thesaurus on the Environment that is gradually evolving towards the status of a formal ontology. For this purpose, the information in its relational database is in the process of being linked to the ontological system of FunGramKB, a multipurpose knowledge base.… read more | Article
2014 A functional and constructional approach for specialized knowledge resources Language Processing and Grammars: The role of functionally oriented computational models, Nolan, Brian and Carlos Periñán-Pascual (eds.), pp. 297–312
This paper describes how verbs are represented in EcoLexicon (ecolexicon.ugr.es), a specialized knowledge resource in environmental science. Based on the hypothesis that human cognition organizes concepts in semantic categories (Tranel et al. 2001; H. Damasio et al. 2004), verbs are conceptually… read more | Article
2014 A cognitive sociolinguistic approach to metaphor and denominative variation: A case study of marine biology terms Review of Cognitive Linguistics 12:1, pp. 193–222
This research applied corpus analysis techniques to a corpus of marine biology texts in Peninsular Spanish (PS) and Latin American Spanish (LAS). The results explain why these varieties of Spanish have different designations for the same sea organism. The focus of our research was thus on types of… read more | Article
2013 Frame blending in specialized language: Harmful algal bloom Terminology 19:2, pp. 175–201
According to Frame-Based Terminology (Faber et al. 2005, 2006, 2007), a crucial issue in terminology management is how specialized concepts should be represented within the knowledge structure of a scientific domain. This paper proposes a model of specialized concept representation based on… read more | Article
2011 The dynamics of specialized knowledge representation: Simulational reconstruction or the perception–action interface The dynamics of terms in specialized communication: An interdisciplinary perspective, Temmerman, Rita and Marc Van Campenhoudt (eds.), pp. 9–29
Dynamicity is the condition of being in motion, and thus, is characterized by continuous change, activity, or progress. Not surprisingly, dynamicity is generally acknowledged to be an important part of any kind of knowledge representation system or knowledge acquisition scenario. This means that it… read more | Article

2009 Terminological competence in translation Teaching and Learning Terminology: New strategies and methods, Alcina, Amparo (ed.), pp. 88–104
A Terminology course for Translation students must deal with the role of terminology in the translation process from both a theoretical and practical perspective. The objective of such a course is not to train translators as terminologists or documentation professionals, but rather as language… read more | Article
2007 Lexical templates within a functional cognitive theory of meaning Annual Review of Cognitive Linguistics: Volume 5, Ruiz de Mendoza Ibáñez, Francisco José (ed.), pp. 137–172
Within the context of the Lexical Constructional Model, which provides a comprehensive account of the relationship between syntax and all facets on meaning construction, this paper is concerned with one of the major representational modules of the model, viz. a lexical template. It is claimed that… read more | Article
