Chapter 4Towards a resource of semantically and contextually structured term variants and their translations
Koen Kerremans | Centre for Special Language Studies and Communication, Brussels Institute for Applied Linguistics, Vrije Universiteit Brussel
In this chapter, a translation resource is presented covering intra- and interlingual terminological variants extracted from a multilingual corpus of parallel texts (i.e. source texts and their translations). The resource is one of the outcomes of two comparative studies focusing on intra- and interlingual terminological variation in a trilingual parallel corpus and in the IATE terminology base. Several questions will be addressed in this chapter relating to (1) the method according to which this type of resource is developed, (2) the way the translation data in this resource are structured and (3) the way these data could be exploited and visualised in a translation tool.
Keywords: IATE, parallel corpus, terminological variation, translation resource
