No entanto, as metodologias empregadas não são explicitamente discutidas, dificultando a comparação e a determinação de abordagens robustas. Para preencher essa lacuna, neste artigo apresentamos e discutimos uma metodologia detalhada para extração de léxico de especialidade a partir de corpora, conjugando abordagen…
