Short description

The project aims at designing, implementing and using a computational toolbox for the acquisition of collocations from text corpora and dictionaries. It builds on the elements of a definition of collocational phenomena from lexicography and computational and corpus linguistics, makes a comparative state of the art in tools for lexical acquisition from text and from machine readable dictionaries, then specifies, implements and uses its own toolbox for that purpose. The tools include linguistically informed dictionary and corpus query, as well as linguistic and statistical processing of monolingual and parallel corpora. The project produces parallel fragments of collocational dictionaries for English, French and German, for a given lexical semantic field, on the basis of an integration of information from many different sources.
