Abstract
In this paper, we present a new method for acquiring bilingual dictionaries from on-line text corpora. The method merges rule-based techniques for obtaining dictionaries from structuralised data, such as paper dictionaries (in electronic form) or on-line glossaries, with methods used by aligning tools, such as GIZA. The basic idea is to search for anchor words such as abstract or keywords followed by their equivalents in another language. Text fragments that follow anchor words are likely to supply new entries for bilingual lexica.
