Lexical-semantic features of color designations in some phrasemes
The problem of studying adjectives with the component "color" has recently become increasingly relevant. The focus of the study is a description of the features of color naming, color perception, as well as color designations in languages of various types. Particular attention is paid to the relationship between color terms and facts of extralinguistic reality. The purpose of this work is to conduct a comparative study of the semantics of connota…
EcoLexicon and by-products
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 application. EcoLexicon is a multilingual terminological knowledge base (TKB) on environmental science that integrates conceptual, linguistic and visual i…
Frame-based terminology applied to military science
This paper describes a Frame-Based Terminology approach to the military terminology of the Spanish Armed Forces. The alphabetically organized (PD0-000) glossary of military terms of the Spanish Armed Forces was transformed into MiliMarco [MiliFrame], a bilingual terminological knowledge base in which each concept appears within a hierarchy of conceptual categories and a semantic network. Framebased resources enhance access to domain knowledge in …
What the analysis of extended meaning of terms can reveal about verb semantic frame structure
By disabling two traditional constraints on general-language one-verb sub-events, Goldberg shows that: (i) a verb can specify both manner and result or change of location; and (ii) the profiled event of one verb need not be causally related to the evoked background frame event. This study develops Goldberg's claims further to show that a single verb can meet (i) and (ii) at the same time. For this purpose, two polysemic terminological verbs and t…
Extraction of Terms Related to Named Rivers
EcoLexicon is a terminological knowledge base on environmental science, whose design permits the geographic contextualization of data. For the geographic contextualization of landform concepts, this paper presents a semi-automatic method for extracting terms associated with named rivers (e.g., Mississippi River). Terms were extracted from a specialized corpus, where named rivers were automatically identified. Statistical procedures were applied f…
Phraseology in specialized resources
In English, the international language of communication (Tono in Lexicography 1(1):1–5, 2014), complex nominals (CNs) are frequently used to convey specialized concepts (Sager et al. in English special languages. Principles and practice in science and technology. Brandstetter Verlag, Wiesbaden, 1980; Nakov in Natural Language Engineering 19(03):291–330, 2013). These phraseological units have a nominal head that is modifed by another element (e.g.…
Food terminology as a system of cultural communication
In this study on food terminology and culture, Frame-based Terminology Theory (FBT) ( Faber 2012 , 2015 ) was combined with corpus analysis to explore the use of culture-specific terms in the food categories of bread and rice. For the sake of comparison, semplates ( Levinson and Burenhult 2009 ; Burenhult 2008 ) were formulated for food , bread , and rice , as a kind of cultural frame to highlight the relatedness of these categories, based on the…
Translation and food
For many years, different disciplines have approached the concept of food as a complex semiotic system that reflects diverse lifestyles and cultural values. Not until very recently, however, was it first acknowledged in Translation Studies that mestizo writers, those who live in a global society within two cultures and who use an equally hybrid language politically in order to combat the asymmetry between their culture and the stronger culture, u…
Use of monolingual and comparable corpora in the classroom to translate adverbial connectors
http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/2175-7968.2016v36nesp1p147Research in terminology has traditionally focused on nouns. Considerably less attention has been paid to other grammatical categories such as adverbs. However, these words can also be problematic for the novice translator, who tends to use the translation correspondences in bilingual dictionaries without realizing that formal equivalence is not necessarily the same as textual equivalence. Howeve…

Frame blending in specialized language
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 conceptual frames (Faber et al. 2006, 2007; Faber 2011) and blends (Fauconnier 1999; Fauconnier and Turner 1998, 2002). Although frame-blending has been docum…
The dynamics of specialized knowledge representation
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 might be a good idea to reconsider concept representations in Terminology, and modify them so that they better reflect the nature of conceptualization…

The Representation of Multidimensionality in a Bilingualized English-Spanish Thesaurus for Learners in Architecture and Building Construction
This article discusses the conceptual design of BEST (Bilingualized English-Spanish Thesaurus), an online dictionary prototype for learners in the architecture and building construction domain. Since the users targeted by this dictionary must create specialized texts, they need reading and writing skills. The aim of this resource is thus to represent information in such a way as to help users to encode and decode specialized texts. As an example,…

Strategies for the Semi-Automatic Retrieval of Metaphorical Terms
This article proposes a method for the semi-automatic extraction of resemblance metaphor terms from a manually annotated corpus of marine biology texts in English and Spanish. The corpus was first searched for target domain terms as well as for lexical markers indicative of metaphors. The combination of these search strategies for metaphor extraction resulted in a set of English-Spanish term pairs. After analysing and comparing these metaphor can…
English as an academic lingua franca
In today’s world, the European Union is searching for a delicate balance between linguistic integration and diversity. Thanks to international knowledge transmission and exchange as well as co-operation and mobility beyond national boundaries, English has now become the preferred option for linguistic unity. It is a language that allows native speakers of different languages to communicate. However, the use of English as a lingua franca should no…
Conceptual Dynamism in Terminological Knowledge Bases
The new conceptual-linguistic shift in terminology has given rise to a new approach, focused on discourse and the real use of terms in texts. This change of paradigm has led to a significant improvement in the content of terminological knowledge bases. However, the most innovative aspect of knowledge modeling lies in the wide-ranging use of ontologies. This provides terminology with greater semantic expressiveness. The presentation of the envir…
Terminological competence in translation
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 mediators whose job is to facilitate interlinguistic communication. Translation students should thus learn how to carry out descriptive terminological work…
Framing Terminology
The frame notion used in Frame Semantics can be traced to case frames, which were said to characterize a small abstract situation in such a way that if one wished to understand the semantic structure of a verb it was necessary to understand the properties of the entire scene that it activated. A frame has been more broadly defined as any system of concepts related in such a way that one concept evokes the entire system. In this sense, it bears an…

Codifying conceptual information in descriptive terminology management
Martín Mingorance's Functional-Lexematic Model (FLM) and Mel'cuk's Meaning Text Theory (MTT) are two complementary models of lexical description, which can also be applied to the description of terminological information. The FLM is compatible with general terminology theory because it envisions a lexicon structured onomasiologically in terms of areas of meaning or lexical domains. The MTT is also applicable because its lexical functions can be u…
The Euthyphro Objection to Divine Normative Theories
The ethical theories often called divine command theories have a long philosphical history. As early as Plato's dialogue Euthyphro , persons – in this case, Euthyphro – were advocating theories that claim such things as whatever is morally obligatory is obligatory because and only because God commands it. There is a range of such theories, however, and offering one description that adequately characterizes them all is very difficult. Some theoris…

Translation Competence and Language Awareness
One of the most difficult things translators have to learn is how to extract conceptual meanings from source texts, so that they base their translations on reformulations of those meanings, rather than on the words or structures that codify them. This article describes an exercise in lexical analysis, involving verbs of sound in English and Spanish. Its aim is to enable students to discover underlying patterns of meaning which are representative …
Utilización de técnicas de corpus en la representación del conocimiento médico
Advances in corpus linguistics are of vital importance in terminology. The information obtained from corpora can be used to complement data already codified in dictionaries and termbases. In this article, we describe a framework of linguistic analysis that facilitates the extraction of conceptual information from corpora, and thus contributes to the study and analysis of terminological contexts. We are presently using this methodology in a resear…
